Northwest Fishing Reports

STRIDER43

Thank you for the info. Im not going to be fishing for a few weeks. I live in PA and usually hit the river a couple days when Im out there visiting family. I just don't want to chance going home with a certificate for $1000.

Someone sent me a txt yesterday that he heard the railroad is giving tickets for anyone that parks on the road side of Reiter to anyone that parks and crosses the tracks to go to the water. I told him I thought it was a rumor in an effort to keep people away. Anyone else out there know anything abou...

I usually pre-tie my egg loops at about 3 ft or so, but I only use an egg loop for when I'm gonna be fishing bait (eggs, shrimp, or sand shrimp). That's only because I don't don't like how an egg loop holds yarn but that's just my preference. For drift fishing I use a traditional snell knot because...

Egg loop knots are always incorporated as part of the leader. It's typical to make your leader on the longer side and then cut it down to your desired length on the water. I usually make mine 3'-4' long and adjust accordingly. From your description, it sounds like you'd rather have yarnie type flie...

Im new to tying egg loop knots. Ive tried to watch videos online but every video shows that the line attached to the hook is always a leader. Im not sure how long I want to make my leaders until I get out on the water. What is the best way to just tie off the egg loop once I have secured the yarn or...

ya I reckon within 1 month of them finally opening the rivers, they will be closed due to water being to low. it happened last year and will again this year the snow packs melted very early this year because of the warm night time temps. Ive been following the water discharge levels every day and I...

Assuming they open how is the projected run on the sky for steelhead?

Is there anywhere I can fish for steelhead or salmon like I bank fish on the skykomish at gold bar?

Excellent advice

Thank you for the feedback. To be specific the dates will be July 7th to the 17th

How about the cowlitz

My cousin and I want to be drive down to the Columbia in July to fish due to the closures. We will be coming from Monroe area. Im coming from Pa and didn't want to cancel my trip so we are going to try and explore or find a place on the Columbia we can fish for 3-4 days and come back. I would be gra...

Get that passport mr. Fishdude/mr. Horning bc has lots of open back country rivers to explore. Ill probably hit a local river tomorrow in search of spring run steel. If either of you made it up here id be happy to show you around. Summer run hatchery coho (bluebacks, which are jacks/estuary residen...

Its sad! I am planning a 10 day trip in July to fish the sky with cousins and now it may not happen.

Does anyone feel there is a small chance they can come to an agreement.

Can someone tell me if the Kings will open this year on the Sky? I trying to decide if I should cancel my plane ticket or not to come out there the 11th of July. Any help would be great. I heard the water is really low for Steelies.

Are there any fish above rieter towards index? Also what type of line do you use? Brand? Braided? mono?

As far as line what brand and lb does everyone use on spinning reel? Type?

So, I'm from Pennsylvania and have family in the sultan area. Each year I visit for 8 days and we hit the stream for 5-6 straight days normally fishing from sultan up to gold bar. This will be more 4th year in a row and her is my track record. Each trip was between July 4-18 each year 2014- zero fis...
