Northwest Fishing Reports

was there a lot of fish? lots of people?

Looking to rent a river boat for month of October through early November to use at the Cowlitz - Barrier Dam Anyone got one to rent out if you are aren't using a boat and a quick way to make money for a month? thanks! Just sold my boat so still shopping but renting would be better until I find a new...

20ft 9 inch 2010 Alumaweld Free Drifter with 115 Mercury motor with 9.9 kicker motor for $14500 boat has less than 300 hours of usage and is a great boat for any fisherman or crabber Great condition - it is all geared up for the perfect fisherman I will include 2 extra chairs, spare tire, boat cover...

I say just let people fish the way they want to fish. Mind everyone's own business and go from there. We are all fisherpeople and not little hall moniters. If people catch their fish fast then they will leave and the river will be open again. All fishermen must stick together or get pushed by the ot...

Is it me or the rivers not producing much this year. From skok, Puyallup, to Nisqually - the sound run has been slow to say the least. Come to find out that there are nets in the sound everyday while there are now closures for rivers for netting - it seems to be one sided for all fisherman. Do we al...

The river was netted for a fact, we also went out to the mouth on a boat and saw a huge net out there right near the mouth. Totally unfair b/c no fish will make it up the river and 10 sea lions driving all the fish into a corner and eating them. As a fisherman, we can't stop fishing that river b/c t...

Hey everyone got an alumaweld 2009 with less than 300 hour on it. 21 footer wit 115 hp Mercury and 9.9 kicker only used it on the Cowlitz to plunk in great shape, easy to use, like new looking for 18K just had motor cleaned and ready to rock and roll, new wiring put in with updated parts to make sur...

wow, I hope the WDFW uses this video next yr when negotiating with tribes on the skok b/c the natives say us fisherman are doing this yet, it is a native who is way over the limit in this video.
Totally ridiculous why he has to hit the fish that many times - unethical

Got a Mercury 2009 Jet 115 motor, the front of the handle you can lower or raise your motor. I can only raise it and the button to lower the motor doesn't work. Is it a wiring issue. Thank goodness for a back up on the side of the motor I can raise it and lower it. any suggestions??

yes but give us a reason why it's going up or advance notice

but they just raised it today to 8400 for no reason?

Why does Tacoma Power raise the flow rate from 6600 to 8400 in 1 day when there is no rain? It sucks b/c you cant fish next to the dam

how do we contact that guy?

filleted a coho and saw a little white worm coming out of the flesh, threw it on the ground to die, but it was probably inch all coiled up, cut the meat around it, didn't see anything else,

is the fillet still good to eat or toss the entire thing? Vacuumed sealed it

Is 10000 flow by the dam to much to fish there on the bank or on the other side?

also why do they only "clip" less and less fish every year? Don't they wonder people would get frustrated, not buy licenses and WDFW would be out of a job?

ummm usually I see the natives stand near the shore and use those treble hooks and we fisherman retrieve those while fishing

were the kings chrome or all dark?

anyone fish the skok for silvers? I know it's open but only fished for kings. Suggesions on best time - thanks

last time I was there, the natives brought out their nets, gutted quite a few chromers and they took the eggs and threw back these beautiful kings!!! I was going to ask them if I could have the fish but figured they were native. But huge chromers just taken for eggs and thrown back - such a waste. T...
