Northwest Fishing Reports

I've eaten a lot of the nice tender spikes that are a part of the root system. Actually easy to get and I like the taste, Sort of Cucumbery!

Growing up in Minnesota around Paynesville / Willmar area I caught my share of PIKE/Muskie/Pickerel. But I have not caught any since 1989. It really was a memorable experience to get this one. This one followed to the shore were I teased it several times to get it to bit. Though I Know this state ha...

Had a chance to visit my daughter/ Son in-law/ and our Grand daughter-new grandson in Fort Drum, New York. Had a few days of fishing the Black River there and was able get some nice Small mouth Bass to 16 1/2" and a nice Pickerel That went 21 1/2".

Had time to run down to Myron to see if any Crappie are left in the lake as this lake is overrun with bait fisher's? Even the nice perch that were in there have seem'd to have been taken by them! Was able to bring up a nice 12 1/2"r though. Hopefully this one won't get taken illegally to!!!

I use to use these same ones for all the BULLHEADS I caught when I was a kid!

I'm sure that many of us get to much trout or do not fish them much because to much is just TO MUCH! I would like to try your recipe. Please put it on here for us to try!!!

I'll do a "how to" on a new topic in this section soon. Brownie pan/ clay/ fix-all/ wd-40/ your choice of plastics/ is what you need to make these easy fish getters.

Here is a new addition to the MERMAID Group. Don't know how well it will do as some times to much is not a good thing!!!

OK I'll bite, voluntarily, though I think you were really intending to "floss" this response all along. As a fellow fisherman, I respect and acknowledge your opinion, I just don't happen to agree with it. You need to read the entire regulation to understand the law and how it is enforced. Snagging:...

The whitefish from the Yakima river bellies are full of them. What you see are about the size of a size 14 fly That is required to fish for whitefish.

"Alley" Cat knows what She likes as I've tried to bring her up right as to what taste's good and what taste's great! She found me on a job site when she was about 7 weeks old. Her along with one of our rescued dogs "Amoire" Really like to eat and or go fish'n.

This would go with GordyC's fishing report for the Yakima river.

With these monsters fighting from below ice. How is the fishing line protected from rubbing against the ice hole? When a fish dives under the boat, the rod is stabbed straight down in the water to protect the line from rubbing. Same for ice fishing? I've never had a problem with ice cutting the lin...

Usually Myron is fairly clear down to 12ft this time of year but the water level is down which must effect the clarity which is about 6ft. These trout are brooders and have been fed pellets which are much smaller. the jigs I used were 1 1/2"s. most trout in these small lake/ponds mainly get tiny aqu...
