Northwest Fishing Reports

I put my fingers through both sides of the gills and pull the head all the way back towards the back of the fish quickly... snapping the neck. then throw the fish on ice til we go to shore for a rest stop. then clean the fish while waiting on fishing buddy to get back from the bathroom, outhouse or ...

You know that those cans of cat food would be considered chumming which is prohibited unless authorized in the special rules. Do you retrieve the tin can when your done? If not that is littering. Please think about it. Chumming is allowed there. We tie a heavy duty string to the cans to be able to ...

What is your favorite rod and reel setup that you have? I have several...depending on what I'm doing. I bought almost every type of Fenwick Legacy pole.... that they made for trout, bass and steelhead back in the day. I love the Legacy rods!~ I like using Shimano Stradic spinning reels...1000, 2000...

Sommy-Som, What's that last fish you posted there? Looks like a really silver pikeminnow. I only know it as a squaw fish!! You could be right! squaw fish = pikeminnow kill them!~ some links for you guys.... http://www.britannica.com/eb/art-7557?articleTypeId=1 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_...

I'd like to go fish Redondo and drop my crab pots...

but I'd settle for some blackmouths.

thanks!~

I fished the snoqualmie last sunday with no luck. I need to find more lures that will help me out. Does anybody have any suggestions.

Take the kids up to Jake's pond... This pond is full of Cutthroat trout... one exit just above Issaquah on I-90. From Seattle you take the Highpoint exit... Exit 20, I believe. Stay to the right...do not go left back under I-90. Take the first left...and park near the metal gate, the road is blocked...

fishnislife,

here is that picture of the mounted bucket mouth for ya....

do you really think they are going to drive from Mill Creek and drive 1-1/2 hours to North Bend to write some moron a ticket for using powerbait ? No they don't drive all the way from Mill Creek... You call Mill Creek...and they call someone to respond!~ There are several Game Wardens in the North ...

Roadkill , I'd love to see a picture of that 9.8lb. LMB. fishnislife, I have a picture of that Bass my friend Donny caught...but it's mounted. His wife had it done for him as a gift. The Bass was 9.5 pounds...not 9.8 pounds. Don Laine Jr. caught it...and it was in the Issaquah newspaper. Not sure w...

I sorta had my mind set on one of the Snoqualmie forks, but I will travel within 50 miles of Redmond. I have read books about steelhead, but I just need some real-person experience about where on a river to fish and bait etc. The forks of the Snoqualmie are a no go... as there is no Steelhead above...

My best friend caught a 9 1/2 pound Large Mouth out of Beaver Lake trolling a dick nite.

I've caught many trolling...
close to shore with dick nites, gold hot shots and wedding rings with worms.
