Northwest Fishing Reports

Haven't fished for a few days, getting the itch...... Need to get out in the morning.

I've filled two cards almost now... only 6 total pinks rest are nooks and silvers..... Have fish coming out my ears

Its four adult fish only. The four fish can includes a max of 2 coho, 2 kings or 2 chums. So that means you can catch 2 coho and 2 pinks. Or 2 coho and 2 kings. The limit of 6 means that you can keep 2 jack (juvenile) coho or kings. Remember that once you have your adult portion (4 adult salmon), y...

11.8lbs for a few seasons???? Thats about 10 or 15 trips for fall nooks. Burning through a pound isn't that hard. It's about a 1lb or more for a day of fishing.

Not a bad egg horde. I have about 5 gallons right now give or take a bit.

Thats weird Fishbait that the Skok is almost done for chinook because the samish up here is just starting. Fish run timings vary greatly from river to river. The Skok has a strong push of summer chinook for about 1 1/2 months while other rivers I fish have a steady stream of fish well into October ...

The law states first two legally hooked fish MUST be retained on the Skok That fish isn't that dark. You can act elitest however if you would like.

Over 90% of the steelhead i caught on the vedder this year were on one egg cure... which wasnt a cure at all. EVEN THO, these eggs fall off quite easily, i found that even if i had 3 different cures in my bag on a given day, the steelhead most days would only take eggs that i simply took out of a f...

I have about 10 cures that I use depending on what is happening. Some cures you just freeze the eggs in ziploc bags. I have found eggs with my borax cure that have frost on them that thawed and worked great. Sulfite cures I just store in borax in glad style containers in the freezer. I burn through ...

3 days 3 limits.... BOBBER DOWN!

I did take this one for a buddy. Thats a 9inch filet knife for scale. This one still had sea lice.

Need to start taking pictures of my catches. Have a couple but I don't take a ton of pictures.

Jens,
Didn't mean Rivrfishr spoons. I have about 20 of those buggers. Need to fish where you caught those bad boys. Been fishing Forks with mixed results lately. Tired of driving 3 hours lol. 145 in the morning is brutal as far as the drive home goes.

Just saying Jens, stay away from the Rivrfishr. Hawkens industries sells the same jig heads they tie Aero Jigs on, they are decent. Granted they are already painted. If you want unpainted again Gami's are the most reliable I have found.

I would still place a call to the WDFW just to be on the up and up. Maybe that way they can swing out there from time to time and check on things when they aren't busy.

In my shop we have gotten alot of complaints about rivrfishr heads. They break at the bend or at the head. I just tie with gamakatsu heads. Relatively cheap and good heads to boot. Actually just pegged a solid fish on thursday and a hand tied special, about 10lbs.

I would have to agree with Bodofish. Simply being upset about it on the forum does nothing. I am not in anyway passive/agressive. I let them know and if the offending party does nothing about it simply turn them in. It's that simple. I educate prior to turning them in giving them every chance to fix...

We sell some great eggs where I work. Rays Bait has a great cure.

I might be game. Have to make sure I can get it off.

Nice stringer Freak.
