Northwest Fishing Reports

Thanks!

Looks like I missed the cutoff for this one. What are the prices after February 15th?

Closed for the season. Even though the lake is open year round, they're draining the lake almost completely this year for dike work.

I agree with you Nate. Circumstances always play a key role in any mountaineering outing, or extreme sport. I guess after doing it for so long, and all my friends and family are aware of this, I've become a bit desensitized to the fear of dying. It is very close to driving a vehicle on the road. You...

You got me there. I have been mis identifying these for years now. Always thought there was a Kokanee fishery, but apparently not. Thanks for correcting me!
