Northwest Fishing Reports

I havent done any fishing in a couple of months, and really want to go out, especially need to burn some of that gas out of my boat for winter. any one know of any good fishing, with most lakes closed I dont know where to go. I live in the valley are of spokane wa, but I have an Idaho license also. Any info would be awsome..... THanks

Slaying them on pend oreille..Now is the best time of year for big kams. Doing real good on Mac.s too

Long lake is still producing good numbers of bass, and you can help eliminate squawfish as well.

If you're interested, let me know, Id go out with ya.

Newman is probably not real good right now.

Hawser will have some fair to good days for trout if your interested.

Silver might have some fair days for trout as well, and if you get lucky and find a school of Crappie, that can be good to.

Pend Orelle is fishing very well, but I hope your boat is large (say 16' minimum and it should be bigger if the wind kicks up) and I hope you have learned the methods. Get with Kamloops Chaser and tag along once.

Sounds like Gisteppo has a plan for you. I might take up that offer myself some time. I have never fished Long, don't even know the boat launches, and live so close to it. I guess the grass is always greener on the other side of the river.

You might also consider Rock lake, but the launch can be pretty tough this time of year.

Rock should be hopping for trout right about now.

Im always up to hop in and go fish at Long, Ill even give you directions to my dock!

I thought they were doing something with long lake? killing off some fish, is that true? and where would I launch at long? 9mile?

Thanks

Nothing doing with Long, that was Sprague.

Launch at the hwy 291 launch just past ninemile, right there at spokane house. Its a little rocky, but easy to get in and out.

launch is still great right now, I've been launching from there for duck hunting. P.S. Heads up on launching, launch fee is $5 each time. I paid $50 for an annual pass but the lady said it's supposed to go up to $7 or $70 per year.
