Northwest Fishing Reports

I have a brand new, never used Sage XP 10wt 9'0" in rod sock and tube. Rod has never used since I do not flyfish and have no real need for a 10 wt flyrod here in Northern Idaho anyway. I would like to get $325 or best offer. Since I live in North Idaho so driving it somewhere farther than Cheney is ...

ok come one any swimbait fisherman out there? I would consider $125

If anyone is interested on here, I have a Okuma Big Bait Special 7'11"/heavy/2-6oz/with the split pistol grip end, paired with a Shimano Curado 200D 7/1 gearing, and 20lb Power Pro to boot. I would like to get $150, but might take a LITTLE lower. Sorry to all the westsiders seeing as Im in Coeur D a...

I was wondering if anyone knew of any good bank fishing spots on the Pend Oreille River for Pike or Bass, since I am kinda shore bound. Any imput would be greatly appreciated

My family and myself will be staying around the Three Rivers resort area for the first half of my vacation, and then Sequim Bay for the second half. I realize that this probably isn't the correct place to ask about the lake or shore fishing on the ocean in the area, but i thought id just make one po...

Im sorry, you emailed me didn't you what was the offer?

Its a decent set up ok id take $100
Also i can send out pics

I would like to sell a fishing setup. It is a Hawk Striker trolling rod, with a Okuma Titus II W. The rod I bought in Australia. The reel is spooled with 250 yards of 80lb test, which should probably be replaced. It is a lever drag reel. I would like to get around $150 for it. I live in Coeur D Alen...

No Mica bay and creek are not closed the only two tributaries to Lake Coeur D Alene that are closed are Lake and Benewah Creeks and 100ft of the creek into the lake. I verified all this with Idaho Fish and Game.

I went fishing on Mica Creek, the water was very high touching the bottom of the bridge i was on, caught 4 cutthroats up to 20in, although the 20in broke 4lb test and took off with my Thomas Bouyant. On another not was using a 1/6th oz Thomas Cyclone when a large fish decided to eat it, again on 4lb...

I have a 10 ft Sea Eagle GT5 Raft with a wooden floor, 2 swiveling pedistal seats, motor mount and storage box. I also have a 2hp Sears Gamefisher motor. I also have a trailer to go with it. And lastly included in the package is 4 rod holders, anchor, 2 dock buoys, and straps for trailer, and a oar....

My wife and I went out on a fishing excursion on Memorial Day, we fished Wolf Lodge Bay, and Beauty Bay at Coeur D Alene for pike, without any luck. So we left and headed up to Cocallala Lake as our last stop and caught three trout, but diddent get a photo of the last one as I actually caught it whi...

The rod type i prefer depends on what im casting. I use a very heavy, stiff rod for throwing big swimbaits. I also have a lighter wippy for throwing topwaters and worms, almost everything else. I have a 10 ft medium stiffness rod for steelheading. And a ultralight for lures for trout. And a 8ft medi...

As far as baitcasting reels go. I dont know your price range, but for beginners Abu Garcia Ambassaduers run pretty cheep, but go up to Revo's which are excellent quality, but a little pricey. I personally run Shimano Reels which are expensive and have EXCELLENT quality. I use a Calcutta 100B, 400B, ...

As for my rigs, I ran a Lambiglas Topwater Special with the Calcutta 100B, and a Bright yellow spinnerbait which is what I caught the fish on. The other rig is a Okuma Guide Series Swimbait Rod with a Curado 200 DHSV, I use that for swimbaits, the bass took a swipe at a 6 inch Castaic Swimbait, but ...

It Hayden Lake is 10 minutes north of Coeur D Alene, Idaho

I went fishing at Hayden Lake again, Had very little luck, but did manage a 4lb Largemouth from right next to the dock, about
5 ft from the shore.

I second what fish4brains said, if you catch a trophy let it go. I let all trophys, and wild trout go, to pass on their genes. And personally I only eat the planted trout. I may be missing out, but the abundance of trophy fish make up for that.

For Crappies Ive found that Hayden Lake back at the Sportsmans park is a better bet than Fernan, plus the fish are a better quality fish. I hooked one that went 2+ lbs last year.
