Northwest Fishing Reports

I am disabled and love to fish but cant afford a membership that should be a.feature for everyone so everyone can have fun to

I'm sure if you ask where a good hot spot is, some one will chime in.. for starters where are you located? and where do you want to fish?

I gotta be honest - I have never used the hotspots.. and my freezer is full. Don't get me wrong, it is a great feature, but not absolutely needed to catch fish and in the end, what is "HOT" one day, may not be "Hot" the next anyway.

Like Oneshot said, give us an idea of where you want to fish and I am sure someone will have some places for you go.

There are a limited number of enhancements we can offer the premium members, and this is one. Maybe down the road we can consider it if we develope other premium-membership only features to replace it.
We did just run a special lowering the price to only $17.99/year. Send me a PM, maybe we can figure something out.

Buying a Premium Membership to WaLakes is like buying a couple of nice lures (in cost). The lures might work and then again they might not. WaLakes always works. You can save money just with the tips that these people can give you

It really is a lot for the money!! Well worth the membership fee!

Glad you think so. The Premium Membership offers a lot more extras than just those hotspots.

Same here. Just because someone had a great day at one spot, unless you can duplicate all the exact same conditions on another day, it may just be someplace to enjoy the scenery. Hotspots are where I am catching fish at that moment, not some arbitrary spot on a map. Provide some info for others to help you out, that's more valuable than a bunch of dots on a map any day.

There's plenty of people around here that will be happy to help I'm sure.

A starting point is to decide what type of fishing - freshwater or saltwater, lakes, rivers? Species? Once you have an idea then look at reports present and past. We have over 35,000 fishing reports in the system, so there is no shortage of information (which can sometimes be overwhelmign to sort through, too much information!).
Then there are the forums. I'd post your questions on the freshwater, saltwater, or river forums to start since they are the most broad category forums to request for help on.

Bottom line, the info is hear and the community is here. You just need to think about what exactly you want to fish for.

good luck!

often times the hot spots are pinpointing areas that are producing because of structure; rocky shelves, underwater downed timber, etc. that may offer conditions that will produce again and again. You have to check them out, but many prove to be valuable. Another very valuable resource provided by WA Lakes!
