Northwest Fishing Reports

last week I bought a single bladed, black buzzbait for 3 bucks with the intention of trying my luck at bass fishing. I am wondering, should I modify it in any other way? I've threaded on a small, green rubber twirly thing and bent the blade shaft ever so slightly so it pings every now and then on th...

or you had it out long enough that the water inside froze and expanded causing it to balloon!

(you said use my imagination)

Use it! its will be more than fine I used my 5/6 weight before i broke it on 15 pound chums and 30 pound chinook 15 to 20 inch trips wont break the road, just have a loose drag my dads 11' 6" g loomins spinning rod is 2 - 4 pound test and it catches big chinook and steelhead, so your set ok thanks!...

thats what my tiny little 5 footer pole is that i want to replace with the cheap fly rod

Are you asking if the basic spinning reel and fly rod are fine for stocker trout... and should you get a larg...

I have an el-cheapo Shakespeare spinning reel from a beginners kit from many years ago (respooled with good eight pound line) that came with a 5' rod. I also have a 2 piece 5/6 weight beginners fly rod from many years ago. What I am wondering is if I can use this spinning reel and the fly rod so I c...

Hi. I am Chad. my first fish was when i was 12. It was a 6 inch sculpin near deception pass. my favorite fish to catch (or attempt to) is rainbow trout, but i'm open to all possibilities. I love the outdoors and apples. i wish i could have a real boat but now i am stuck with a "4" person inflatable ...

Cool products! I just want to know if you have any spinners that imitate yellow perch? The trout in the lake I fish get real huge (15-20 in) by feeding on the perch that grow there. (which can also get relatively big)
