Northwest Fishing Reports

I've got a nice Fetha Styx 9'6 8-12 Chrome rod and Penn Battle reel for sale that would work great for you... ;) It's also under $200 for the combo I haven't seen any reviews on the Fetha Styx Chrome, but they seem to be a highly regarded manufacturer by many fisherman...same with the Penn Battle. ...

For under $200 you can pair a Pflueger President or Shimano Sahara to a Berkley IM8 or Okuma SST. There are other good pairings as well, but these are the more popular economical choices.

Under 200.00 is exactly what I consider reasonable

Looking for a reasonably priced spinning rod combo for winter steelhead. Recommendations?

From what I understand The Cowlitz is a big river more suited for sleds than drift boats. I have a drift boat is there any good productive stretches down there that aren't hit to hard by the big boats?

I finally got a break so I went and looked at it the other day. It looked like I would be walking the boat a lot of the way . That river is low! Talked to a couple of guys bank fishing. low clear flows is making it really tough. Going to hold off.

FKJ, I am a Tugboat Captain and work a 30/15 schedule, I really want to learn to fish any of the Olympic rivers. Have fished the Humptulips several times and would love to learn the Sky, Hoh, Bogachiel, Sol Duc, or any others. When I'm in town I'd be willing to meet you anywhere and share expenses....

My regular partner had to back out. Looking for somebody interested in hunting 600 area (Malta) During the rut this year. Got a great place to hunt, wall tent, stove ...Pretty good camp..

can you define the hatchery drift? Put in , take out..Thanks

Im wanting to drift the Humptulips for the first time real soon (like tomorrow LOL) How is the Summer run going there? Anybody having any luck? What would be the best most productive drift for the novice oarsman ...Looking for a 4 or 5 hr late afternoon early evening drift

Ive been kicking around the idea of fishing that Smith creek also....I deer hunted that area last year.....Sorriest deer hunting Ive ever seen

Kb1961, The Diawa Millionaire reel, that G-man said retails for $60.00. It retails from my garage to U for $20.00. If U want it. North Seattle. Btw... I've got the Lamiglas "Classic glass" rod he was talking about as well, but you can't have it, sorry. I just want to say its a great downrigger rod....

Looking for a couple of rigs for pulling plugs in the local rivers, Salmon and steelhead.....Suggestions for reasonably priced gear would be great. My budget is pretty lean.

Hell with it. I just bought the bullitt on a new Stradic and Ill go get the Lamiglass at BiMart tomorrow

I am wanting to get another spinning float set up....What would be a good sub 200.00 for steelhead

Light tackle

Oh sure! Everythings gotta be to secret...LOL

i dont, but if i were headed into the river blindly, i would have 4lb tippet, on a floating line, about 6-7ft of leader. i would be sure to have some royal coachmen flys and some other small dry flies with a yellow belly. That's just what I was thinking. Theres gotta be some nice cuts up there. Mig...
