Northwest Fishing Reports

Be careful if you fish anywhere along the river road between Everett and Snohomish, the homeless have been camping out along the road all summer and I bet they would just love to see some unattended cars, one of the fishing access points they have been sleeping in now has a good size stack of used t...

Pretty limited opening for the Snohomish

Action: Opens the Snohomish River to fishing for coho salmon Sept. 29 through Oct. 2, and Oct. 6 through Oct. 9.

There was no party

Looks like the ramp is finished. All the painting is done, not as big as I had hoped, looks like maybe 6 trailer parking spots and maybe 8 more slots just for cars. Still no idea when it will be open.
I will try to get some pictures later this week.

Almost two years and still no sign of the new ramp, guess my idea of a fast tracked project and Snohomish counties are different

What coho season

By the time we have the Everett derby they are usually here in pretty good numbers, here we are two weeks later and even out in the salt there are more negative than positive reports. Starting to think they are more likely to be a no show than just late. Heck even the baker sockeye run was less than...

Nice video, should help a lot of folks out

What type of bobber would you use for this

I am going to take a day off here in the very near future and try my luck fishing from the shore. Never tried it before but would like folks thoughts on Bush point Vs possesion point park ?
Any Tips/tricks or suggestions greatly appreciated.

Headed up next Tuesday, will be my first time at baker and first time fishing for Sockeye. Looking forward to it.

Looks like the fish totals were down this year. 850 Vs 1200 last year. 2000 entrants. I could not get anything going on the river.

Could the forecast have been anymore wrong??

I can't post links from phone but I use the northern inland and san Juan islands. The have backed off a bit for Saturday but still show 4-6 for Sunday. The thunder and lightening is from all the local stations. Even if calm I would not risk the lightening. There is currently one boat for sale on CL ...

I was fishing a competition back in england years ago, a guy a few spots down from me was set up to use a pole (5 meter if I remember correctly) Two minutes before the start we had a lightening strike close by. He did not fish for the first hour, no way he was going to pick up a carbon conducting rod.

Not looking good for the Derby this weekend, wind waves of 2-4' on saturday with rain and lightening. Sunday wind waves increasing to 4-6'.
Looks like I am passing the derby up this year. If its not too bad I may hit the river on Sunday but an Aluminum boat and lightening puts saturday out for sure.

I will try to attend, even if its just to meet all those WALakers who appear to have won the lottery so they can spend everyday fishing while the rest of us bums work.

The fluke anchor is fine. I use one on my 15' duraboat and it holds just fine in the Snohomish and on the sound. I used to have the same anchor on a glass boat with no issues. I have 4' of chain and then 50' of rope.
