Northwest Fishing Reports

name some goals u want to achieve in the rivers this year :bounce:

Catch my first one. I plan on taking a few days off in August and try the Skok w/some buddies. And catch a steelhead.

Catch saltwater pinks on my ultra-light kokanee set up. Knowing my luck I'll hook into a 20+lb king!
Get my toon rigged up with a reliable and safe anchor system so that I can pull some plugs on the Snoqualmie.

goal for now, find steelhead in th coffee colored water of the stilly.

goal for this fall- lots of pinks and silvers and sturegon

is this the year for the Pinks? Several years ago, I caught my first on 4 pound test using pink buzz bombs in hoodsport...what a trip!

My logic - The pinks weren't in last year so it's gotta be this year.
Rule of thumb for Washington State - Pinks return heavy in the odd years.

Sweet thanx! I can't wait!

If Swede was here bet he would know...and you could probably get a pic or 10 for proof:bball: Gee wonder where he has been:-"

one for me Not Hook into a 35+ pound king on 8 pound line fishin for pinks

My Goal, is simular to Kavy. Try to catch a steelie in the mud staind water. The other goal is to make up for the lost season from last year due to Uncle Sam.

did you land it?

oh yeah. that was a work out. a true Native too from the sky.

catch a 6 fish limit on the cowlitz salmon or steelhead.

Me another goal is to catch 100 pinks mostly on a 5wt catch a king that is in season some steelies and coho and not to forget the DOGS

well my answer isnt too different then other, find something that work in these nasty waters , but most important i wanna try to find a spot that no one fishes as long as it produces fish yr around............

"see" a steelhead on the tolt river. If I could just see one, just one, then I would know all the hours I've spent going up and down that river were not in vain. If I saw one it would give me hope that at least I'm fishing for something. Right now I'm just catching branches.

You know that they stopped planting hatchery steelhead in the tolt a few years ago right?

would like to go out and fish more often. Learn Lake Wa for its cutts and catch a bloody steel head.

To fish safely and enjoy the sport whether I catch or not.For me its all about relaxing.
