Northwest Fishing Reports

Today at beaver lake i caught and relesed 3 lmb the biggest being 3lbs so the bass fishings not done yet

If you wouldn't mind sharing, what'd they hit on?

Good work, bassing this time of the year is tough....

the largemouth are still easy to catch. Just look for old summer ambush points and docks. they are also still in shallow water or tight to some form of cover.

what about suspending bass? Are they to that point yet? I'm under the assumption that the bass are doing the opposite they do in the spring. So bass are holding in groups on points etc near the flats in about 7-15ft suspended.....yeahhh I read that somewhere.... any thoughts? Obviously they'll be in the shallows at some point in the day though, just figuring out when is important to what the sun is doing.

I caught it on an old nightcrawler

Any trout biting? That place will be CROWDED the week of the 12th. As soon as that lake gets the november stocking, it's a zoo. Good luck finding a spot to park a rig and your trailer at the launch and hope you have even better luck getting a spot to fish off the beach...Going to call for some early alarm clocks to find a spot out there....

I'm probably going to fish it the day after. Virtually no dent in the population, but the crowds really die down.

You can catch bass with a real worm year round. The more difficult refined approach is much harder to catch fish with this time of year. Don't get me wrong though, nothing wrong with bait fishing.

Try the week after. The day after is usually the worst cause thats when the word gets out....I'll be out to fight the crowds though, it's always fun to have people watch you reel in big fish!!!
