Northwest Fishing Reports

Landed this rainbow trout earlier today in Steel Lake. Biggest I've seen out of a lake before, and a few guys said they've never seen one that big there, but it's only the 2nd time I've fished it. They stock it with 11-13 inchers though, so this ones been around awhile. 2012-06-10 21.14.jpg 2012-06-...

Anyone interested in catching rainbow trout on Steel Lake in Federal Way (King County), or really anything else with trout nearby, I would love to help out. I usually land one every few minutes once I find the right spot on the lake :) I use a float tube personally, so if you have one too that would...

Originally I meant shore fishing, however I stumbled upon a good deal on Craigslist for a new-in-box float tube :D Enumclaw is pretty far out of my, unless there's any that are really great and worth the drive.

Here's the biggest of the ones that we caught, is that about normal size? Not sure if I want to go back again this w...

Over thinking? Me? No way! Okay, guilty. It's a hazard of being a sound engineer :) Had a fun time yesterday, only caught 3 perch, but at least I finally caught something in a South King lake. My friend caught his first fish too, so that counts for something! I found one spot to the east of Ivar's r...

I drop shot for perch using #8 hooks and a single split shot at the end of the leader.

Hi, I used to live farther up north on the edge of San Juan Islands and fished a ton in the sound and rivers, but barely at all in lakes, especially not from the shore. Now, I'm stuck on banks. A friend of mine (who knows next to nothing about fishing) and I are going to Lake Washington Wednesday af...
