Northwest Fishing Reports

Hey guys, I'm new to the North Seattle Area and am looking for a good place to toss out my dry line - either in a lake or river.

Any suggestions and/or directions?

Thanks!

I don't believe it's been like that for quite a while, I could be wrong, but I've lived here for 5 years and haven't seen a warning for toxic algae, apparently there has been in the past.

Cool thanks, just did my introduction on the New Members page.

All depens on what you want to catch.....?????? As the water cools trout will be back on the menu. Salmon in the rivers...... And salt.

Welcome aboard try to hit lake washington that's my usual spot heading out there tomorrow.

Welcome!

Here is a link that may help you with your search for waters -

http://wdfw.wa.gov/fish/prospects/index.htm

Click on the prospects and you will find thumbnail sketches of a number of waters giving information such as access, species, etc. The waters are listed by county. That should provide you with a list of potential waters of interest that could keep one busy for quite a well.

To provide more specifics one really need more specifics about your interest, equipement (boats etc). You mentioned your desire to cast a "dry line". I would infer that you are looking for fly fishing waters - there is an incredible range of opportunities in the area for the fly angler - from the bay to its beaches to lowland lake trout and warm water fish, steelhead and other anadromous fish in a number of rivers, resident troutin headwater streams, alpine lakes, etc.

In a year a fly angler focusing their efforts within an hour to two of north Seattle can catch everything from ling cod to steelhead to coho salmon to sea-run cutthroat to Dollies to resident rainbows and cutthroat to large and small mouth bass, to panfish to carp to some more offbeat species. The issue is less about what sort of opportunities there are but rather what your interests are.
