Northwest Fishing Reports

From some reports I hear that you need to look for big rocks, cement walls on the sun setting side of the lake. Something that will Heat the water up in the area. I didn’t know the lake so I cannot mention where, but there must be plenty of spots to try with those credentials

Ever try a Slip Bobber and jig for smaller bass? Crappie Magnet to be exact. I’ve caught plenty of LMB on this set up. At Langlouis you can catch smaller ones all day this way.

Really surprised no response. These have to be sitting in someone’s box collecting dust. I am not collecting.....I just want to try different colors that are no longer produced. I find the currently color choices weak myself.

PM me what you have laying around. Color/condition and pricing please. Discountinued Colors Included. Thanks

All Sold!

Have had a few nice one lately here on the west side.....12” broke my personal best. Next trip had a nice 11.5” but not as thick. Thinking that I did not catch the largest one in the lake so I will try some more.

Looking for a Blue Blaze first....3/4 and 5/6 with extra spools....next color would be Gold.
Swords would be next.

Are you sure that you are on the correct site for that question? Ha!

Question was for the OP...Bluegill and Crappie

Yes, the Kastmasters will be with me for sure. Thanks for the info

Headed over to Chelan for a golf event next weekend, but I have to hit Antilon Lake for an attempt at my first ever Brown Trout. Tips, thoughts, ideas? I’ll have my pontoon and I know where to launch it at. I have read the reports what few there are. I will be trolling, Bobber Fishing and some Fly. ...

Holdovers at Beaver Lake from Fall Plants....look up Reports for more info. One from today with a nice fish.

Are you eating them?

Interest in that area myself....McGinnis also.

When is a good time to head that way? How about Spiny Ray’s? June and beyond?

My main goal is to catch Brookies at McGinnis

Heard the resort is a dump....stay in Omak was suggested instead. Just a room with no water.

Stupid of me, but I put my like new NRS Chinook Life Vest on the roof of my Honda Element as I came off the lake and never loaded it back in. Also, a pair of miss matched Gloves (Black and a Camo colors) It could have fallen off my car going over the speed bumps or turning onto 65th st. Last year I ...

January was great for me....8 fishing days and 72 Trout and 1 Bluegill....mostly big too! Last year was my first January lake Fishing and it was slow with only 9....the difference being out on the water compared to being on a dock. Also, I have learned from this site and others.

I target later starting times, or basically the warmest periods of the day..... 2 to 3 Hours Out the. Some bugs hatch during the warmest time of the day also which can’t hurt. I fish from a pontoon with stocking foot waders. I try to have me feet in the water as little as possible so they stay warme...

Munn....if you like to not keep your fish and not use bait, and not use scent, and barbless single hooks!
Beaver....light pressure after the 3rd plant should keep the action going a few more weeks. You will need to be on the water though.
Offut.....good dock fishing...worm, marshmallow

I finally caught some Crappie today....three 11-12".....I was targeting them but had no clue if there were active yet at this little lake. Two people told me nothing yet, both live on the lake, yet I found a few. See my report.

Thanks for the get backs. I was at a lake today that I scooped out a few spots were Crappie might earlier. Then I was told that there was indeed some in the lakes and since I was using a Trout Magnet for Trout, I went over to this spot and tossed in my TM and Slip Bobber between some overhead low br...
