Northwest Fishing Reports

OK, after reading a pike report by st.Clair5x5, it seems it's finally time for me to make a run up to the Kettle falls area. Back in the day I used to fish for walleyes up there, but I haven't been in a while. I think I know where I want to fish for pike in the area, but I'm unsure of the boat ramp conditions.
Can anyone tell me if the launches at the Kettle Falls campground or the one at Marcus are usable at this time?

Thanks for the help!

This will give you current lake levels and the minimum Launch levels, But when it get close to the low water there is a good chance of finding some rocks at the end of the ramp.

Thanks for the link it's very helpful.

The Kettle Falls launch is the place to use now. Marcus is high and dry. Be careful going north from K.F. Very shallow half buried rocky bars just north of the double bridges and shallow gravel bars out from singer's bay half way up to Marcus. I grounded on one last spring in the middle of the lake there. Just go slow and cut the throttle or turn when your fish finder comes up to 10-15 feet. The pike are out kinda deep yet; gets better shallow in April. Good luck/

Thanks for the input Chuck. Maybe we'll have to hook up and give them a try when the water gets a little deeper.

That would be swell. We've been trying to do that for a couple years
