Northwest Fishing Reports

This is a day to reflect back.

It's been several years since I fished Chopaka, but remember having a good day there. Had one on that broke the leader half way up. I remember the road was a bit of a challenge getting up to it. If my memory is correct, June is when the Mayfly hatch is on. It's a blast when they are hitting on those...

I'm still vertical, Bodo. Had some medical hurtles (actually 3) to get over the last 12 months but making progress. Didn't even fish last year. I've got my license for this year so the game is back on. Still as cantankerous as ever.

The following is the latest information about a public access into Chapman Lake, Spokane County Hi Marc, WDFW originally though we would pursue putting in a launch via the DNR property but after looking at that piece of ground realized, although not impossible, that option would be extremely difficu...

The Crimson Spider or a play on words...The Crimson-Tied

Nice story

I was pleased that Clarence was selected to receive one of France's highest awards for his military service in WWII. It is truly an honor to have been a good friend of his for the last 53 years. He certainly deserves it. :salut: http://www.spokesman.com/picture-stories/french-legion-honor/" onclick=...

They actually did listen about the treatment of fish lake by Cheney. They were going to plant the lake with tiger trout again. A couple of us convinced them to not put those in but rainbows and brook trout. The tiger trout were not keeping the pan fish at bay. It was a lengthy meeting but they did d...

I don't think the heat will have a big effect on Pass Lake. The forecast for the Burlington area for the next 5 days is highs in the low to mid 80's. The surface temperature will rise some, pushing the fish to deeper water so they can find their comfort zone and more oxygen. According to the lake ma...

One of the worst places to be is in a boat on open water.

You pretty much nailed it Bodo :) And let's not forget the burning of the "draft cards". Something totally foreign to the young males of today.

I don't recall any of them doing any spiritual quests. The core belief of the hippie movement was a rejec...

This is a great cap with a built in light. Lowe's carries them.

Think about a boat coming down the lake at 40 mph and not seeing you til the last second. It happened to me while I was in a tan colored float tube. He finally spotted me when I began to wave my arms and fly rod. Scared the hell out of me. Since then I think about visibility. While in my pontoon boa...

I sent an email to the other two stations in Spokane KXLY and KREM also and as of today no reply.

It was on the news tonight.....

With the fishing general season opener next week, now would be a perfect time to run a feature story on the news.
