Northwest Fishing Reports

Change to anti-snagging rule Action: Changes the definition of the anti-snagging rule to: Except when fishing with a buoyant lure or trolling from a floating device, anglers may use only one single-point hook, measuring no more than ž inch from point to shank. Hooks must be attached to or below the...

Another rod and reel producing great results: The Pflueger one piece 7' graphite model PFTRSP 70 1M Medium Action combo with the Pflueger "Trion" 7 bearing system spinning reel. I picked the combo up at a close out price of $45. The rod is very sensitive and yet strong...too strong to enjoy small f...

One of my fishing buddies installed a new brake system on his trailer and he also went with the wireless system. He had me drive from Davenport to Nespelem for our fishing at Rufus Woods. It worked great! One trip and new, so you are right to report back later with some history behind it. My memory...

This is a great question. The rod is very important in successful drop shot fishing. The fishing rod you have described would work extremely well. Here is an idea at the other end of the price spectrum. One of the parts of fishing providing some extra entertainment is to try different types of equi...

Anything like one of these?

I really enjoy casting Super Rooster Tails to the shore at Rufus Woods. I've been using the Black, Red & Silver colors when I'm not Fly fishing with a wooly bugger or trout pellet fly. There ya go! I had not come across these either. Look to be quite nice. The blade can sometimes be tough to turn w...

I am sorry for my non-response if the drop shot question was aimed at me. Seems obvious it was. Drop shot, or down shot, is a form of jigging, but the sinker is on the bottom and the weightless minnow/jig is tied up the line with a palomar knot. The weight(s) are connected to the remaining tag line...

My first inclination was also a rainbow. Kam because of the location. Old male steelhead can also look quite similar and they are a sea run rainbow, of course.

I am certainly not an expert, but do have experiences. Transducers can and do go bad. The damage or corruption may not be visible from the outside. If it is an old fish finder, you will need to contact the manufacture to see what current transducer is compatible. Many times, the price for a new tran...
