Northwest Fishing Reports

They help but good practice to still put some dielectric gel in the connectors. I have had condensation get into them when installed for a length of time. That will keep the connections good.

I've had an Elite 5 for about 6 yrs now. The only time I had problems was when I cracked the transponder. Once it's dialed in it shows me a pretty good picture. I have used it on fresh and saltwater.

What I have been told by a warden is if they can't hood a fingernail on it then it is considered barbless.

This is the one I use for Baker Lake.

Only got out a few times to Clear Lake and American this year. I did not do very good with kokes but did catch alot of rainbow. I threw everything in the box at them. Seemed pretty slow for them.

The best I did for kokes was when I was fishing Baker Lake for sockeye. We caught atleast 10 up there.

I was up there last weekend and came home with four. They are spread throughout the lake from dam to Noisy.

Ditto on the skeeters, some years they can eat you alive. Leaving the boat in the water is not a problem, just be aware that the level can change a foot overnight. I got caught on the beach acouple years ago and had to get pulled off. Now I just leave alittle slack to get off easier.

Mine cleared up today and I got the new posts without the search page. Thanks

I'm having the same problem with mine. It won't let me see new posts, just generic search page.

Just getting up after a long night out. Heard the booms in sedro-woolley and thought somebody was blowing stumps pretty early. That afternoon I got activated with my national guard unit and started for eastern washington for 2 1/2 weeks cleaning up.

I second the depthmaster rod. It has performed well for me.

That bill is such a load. Message sent.

I live near there and they have great prices on the pork belly I use for making bacon. We've been going there for years.

something I have used in the past is a piece of plywood with some sticky back sandpaper on it. I didn't have any problem getting slimed up and the sandpaper stayed on pretty well. I just put it in a few places to keep it from slipping. No problem with the cleanup either.

putting an ad blocker on stopped all of them on mine.

Went out today with about 10 other boats on the water. I only stayed from 6:30-10:30 and did not see anyone catch anything except me. It wasn't salmon but a nice 16" 2# cutthroat. I caught it on a K14 blue kwikfish.

Does anyone know if any salmon caught in Lake Sammamish needs to be fin clipped or not? I went through the regs and could not find anything that told me.

I have a fairly heavy 16' aluminum sled that does 30 mph pretty consistantly. Running lower throttle at 26-27 is pretty comfortable on gas.

I've had that happen a couple of times also. I have an ad blocker installed

There tends to be wood floating in the lake all the time. Just depends on the wind as to where you will run into it. Last year I thought I was fishing in a log yard for awhile. Swift Creek would be the best launch for your small boat. You will only need to run about 1/2 mile to get to the good fishi...
