Northwest Fishing Reports

pun intended, but what are some good scents for the rivers out there? for silvers and kings, im lookin for a gel type so it lasts a little longer, but any suggestion? pro-cure? smelly jelly?

salmon feast, sand shrimp and bloody tuna from various companies.

the Krill scents seem to work pretty good as well..

dang snipe you really love those pfluegers lol

IMHO they are the best bang for your buck spinning reels you can buy. You don't find too many (if any other) 9+1 bearing reels like the President series for under $60 and they can handle anything you'll catch in fresh water except non-keeper sturgeon in their 40 series size.

yeah i have an arbor 7450 and its handles the salt well, used it for pinks, flounder, silvers, dogfish, rockfish and almost an accidental ling lol and anyfish in the lakes lol, and i got three presidents too, 2 35's and a 40, they are amazing, but i kinda dont like the nwer models, just cuz they have the small squares handles, wish they had bigger and wider rubber handles like other reels do =/

I have 2 presidents for the rivers.. love them!

i use the dick nite DNA often when fishing dick nites.

Would crayfish make good silver and king bait?

I'm not sure I've ever actually seen a salmon eat a crayfish, but it might be close enough to a shrimp type flavor. It's probably not going to make 'em say yuck and swim away from your bait screaming.

steelhead LOVEEEEEEEEE crawfish tails

Rite on! Now if only I could trap them crays. Should work well in lake washington/union yeah? Is it better to fish the botto mid or top? I got no experience with salmon and trout

i think when its hot and sunny the fish will prolly be closer to the bottom, cuz they like cooler water than other fish species, but on cool/cloudy days idk

great bait.

took some nightcrawlers to the skoke one day just to expirement and the kings loved them. surely some company has worm scent.

procure, and mikes has nightcrawler scents, im not sure about smelly jelly though, but hey, not many people use worm scent, a good change maybe?

yeah worms are a good change of pace for steelies for sure, especially on the skookumchuck and cow.
