Northwest Fishing Reports

The cold is finally here! Please post ice safety info and whether or not you wet a line. Stay safe and have fun.

Nope.
Sorry.
No way.
Brrrrrrrrrrrr.
You guys are nuts!
You do know ice is COLD, right???

The pond near my place has about an inch or 2. Anybody know if the seep lakes have skimmed over yet?

The boat basin at the Coulee City park is frozen over. Several years ago when I lived in Entiat I used to ice fish this basin for perch and it seems we always did pretty good but it was some what of a drive. Now that I live in Coulee City I'm thinking about going down and sitting on the dock, punching a hole in the ice and giving it a try. If I do any good I will post a report.

Yesterday I heard from a guy that had just driven past Sprague Lake and said there was a skim of ice on the entire lake

Looking for an ice report on Eloika lake if anyone could help that would be great thanks.

I've got a buddy that lives spitting distance from there. I can ask him to check it out. The little pond by me has about 3" on it. Maybe more,. I could jump and have it not crack (220#). Find out more Saturday

That would be awesome. Thank you.

I am thinking about a trip out to Elokia to ice fish this Monday, December 19th. Has anyone checked the ice conditions there?

12 skinny guys out ice fishing on Moses this morning.

does anyone know the ice conditions for Newman lake ? I May Have to take a drive out there in a day or so to c 4 myself anyway. gettin kabin fever and missing the sight of a big toothy northern coming through the ice !

There was 2-5 inches of ice on 12-17 Saturday on eloika

Thank you for the report on ice thickness.

No problem any know what moses looks like?

I have seen pictures of several folks on the ice in the area of the I 90 bridge in Moses Lake, it looks like the perch are running about 12" to 13".

Anyone know how curlew lake is right now? Would like to try going after some of the perch that is in it now. Been a long time since I've been up there in winter.

Moses ice is about 5-6" what I got from trip state outfitters. Bear lake over by Spokane has 5" of good good ice. And 2-3" of water on top with 1" of ice on top of that. So once it freezes all the way though. There'll be alot of ice.

I was at Moses lake today with 7'' of ice, and saw people ice fishing Sprague lake. At Hog Canyon yesterday there was about 5-6'' of ice with some water on the ice in a few spots.

I'll have to venture out to Sprague and try my hand at those massive trout there. Have any luck at Moses?

Guys were fishing around harper island at the west end and near the south shore next to the resort. Yes Moses was great, was catching average of 10''-13'' perch with two at 14.5'', and one dink walleye. I didn't even bother fishing near i-90 at all, clear solid ice anywhere I explored though.
