Northwest Fishing Reports

Nice fish picture Craig ,i saw it in Washington&Oregon gamefish magazine

Which picture is that and which issue?

so Cuda... How muskies have you caught already this year? I hear the water is coming up at Tapps... The weather is warming... it is almost time!

Let's go Muskie fishing!

It was the april issue three pages from the back ,hooked 6 so far landed 4 seen probably 10 .Till they started fillingthe lake its been dead since. Jigman caught the last fish a nice bass ,but till the lake stabilizes im going steelheading

You guys are so lucky! Do you every get ice which stops you from fishing? Fishing is my outlet for stress, so I would be out there all winter if I could, even if I wasn't catching much! We still have that dang hard coating on top of our lakes.... Maybe by the second week of April I will be able to launch the USS Pend Oreille!

Silvers ice is out Doug. All open water.

Nice smallmouth floyd. About time we see your face and a fish at the same time cudaman. You better hurry and log that fish into the lunge log as it might be lunker of the month.

I know where I will be next weekend!

Hey just to let you all know there,s muskies in tapps and its coming on a full moon .tody was windy but productive 31in &30in lost one bass

Both Newman and Silver are not doing much yet. Both had water temps hovering at 41-42 degrees. I found one spot which had 46 degree water, and spooked one fish out. Hopefully next weekend that little hole will be getting close to 50 and hold a few fish looking to warm up. Saw one fish on Silver, which hit on a rather large lure. I was doing the hokey pokey, and plodding it along. She bumped it and just swam off. Not a big fish, but a fish none the less. Most of the fish appeared to be in 18-20 feet of water yet.

Hey Doug this year i,ve had several muskies come up and lip bump my lure only to have them swim away .That being said i,ve upped my lure speed and have caught a few more that i probably would,nt have caught.I to have been going big

I think I am going to go back to Silver on Wednesday evening and troll some big Swimmin Joes. I think Coty will go, so we can troll three poles, with my two pole permit. Should up the odds a bit. Haven't really trolled much in the past, but rather just used it as a break from casting. Kind of want to tip the scales a bit more in my favor when the fish aren't cooperating much yet....

fished tapps today tried out a new bucktail , well now its a used bucktail got a 31 incher last cast .Her,s pic &some tools you need

1. Brett how many is that for you this year already?
