Northwest Fishing Reports

Got a late start this morning about 9ish and was off the water by noon.

5 cast later
3lbs ish

Same fish


Spotted a bed and here are the results
1lb


2 1/2lbs ....give or take



All fish were C & R. Couldn't get any to hit on jigs or shakey heads. All were hooked on Falcon weighted 4/0 wacky senkos!!!

I had an early start and didn't kill it like that. Where were you at?

Good job:cheers: its always nice to have a catch and release day.Camera angles make them look like 10lbs:cheers: its hard to take good pics when your alone

Nice one! Where you fishing at?

Thanks for the comments everyone. I was going through withdrawls....so had to pull out the good ol' float tube and hit up trout lake.

Great job !! Was there a lot of beds, or a couple spread out??

There were a couple of beds (empty)....but i was pretty low to the water level (in my tube), so it was hard to tell at times. I only covered about 200yds of bank from the boat launch. I just got lucky on one of the beds pulled the smaller on first.

i almost went to trout yesterday. guess i should have!! looks like you were fishing some of my fav spots on that little lake.

nice job man!!

I think I'm going to trout tomorrow. Got monday off of work because I was expecting a long grooling tournament on Potholes. It was grooling, but not long, day 2 cancelled due to high winds. I need a little confidence boost after placing dead last :p

See that's what im talking about , had you just got out there a week ago this pic could have been a 5+ pounder ..lol.. Now i gotta come behind you and find her .. Seriously good job out there man , im glad you decided to come back to wash. Ill call ya Saturday after my tourney ..

Alright Dez....good luck on the Tourney!!

Went out to Trout lake today. No luck. Threw senko, sweet beaver, jig, and swimmies. That lake is freakin WARM.

Good warm? haha

58-64 degree water.

What.....not even a hit? Yeah, that water is warm (just perfect for float tubing). Last week I hit up Sawyer and froze my nads off.

I got a short strike on a swimbait, not sure how big it was. Were you fishing up in the pads? They should be looking for spawning areas so I didn't fish some of the muddier bottom. I did make my way around the whole lake though, probably spent too much time looking for the BIG fish. Saw a few beds, but not a full on spawn. Won't be long.

I was fishing up in the pads and skipping way underneath those tree branches. I'll probably hit it up tomorrow afternoon.

theres some hogs in there. my buddy was reeling in a small bass on a crankbait and a big bass hit it right at the boat. is was a good 6-8 pounder. this was last fall though.

Went out this afternoon 4 hits, but only hooked up with 2

Looks like your killin em BLACKLAB! Wacky rigged Senko's all the way?
