Northwest Fishing Reports

All opinions wanted for good lakes.

i am a beginner angler looking to practice the basics, don't mind fishing for any species. Don't mind the drive as long as its in Snohomish county, preferred for the lakes to be "hot" or good fishing this August and September. Would also love to fish with someone if anyone from the forum wants to join!

Why fish a lake? Fish the salmon run in the Snohomish, Skykomish, Stillaguamish, and Marine Area 8-1, the fish are going to be a lot bigger and way more plentiful.

Ditto Dat.

The lakes come very soon will warm up, and general trout fishing is not at its best. Of course the bass fishing is good, but I think bassing from the bank is not all that fun.
I would hit rivers, and salt beaches. Look at the river report history for the rivers in your area, and go from there.
Or better yet, go to Craigslist, drop just a few bucks on a float tube and U can bass fish into oblivion.

Yep.. Lots of river banks to hit.. The rivers will be loaded with salmon in the next few weeks...

Like quad said too, I have found bassing from bank next to impossible a cheap tube will help.
