Northwest Fishing Reports

try the river forum if your interested

if you can go to the samish. tons of kings in there.

Yeah I feel you guys on saturday. got out there at like 415 and didnt catch a fish for the first 2 or 3 hours! finally got one and landed him. got 2 more bites in the next hour or so and landed one so we went 2/3. way different than tuesday when i was there with ff. that day we had 13 takedowns on t...

Im most likely going this weekend. went with ff tuesday and couldn't believe how much fun those socks are. even better to eat too. don't know if i will fish for trout much this year.... if you guys are there im in a 17ft smokercraft with a tohatsu on the back.

i see alot of fish in the vedder caught on peach yarn even when you can use bait. the fish aren't flossed either. also big spin n glows and like matt said, spinners. plugs too, depending on size of river and if your in a boat, backtrolling plugs might be the best option.

I just got back from fishing around ketchikan for kings. We mostly fished mountain point and herring cove and did well on kings to 30 pounds. I was there last august and silver fishing was good, as well as smaller kings, 4-10 lbs. This past time I was running flasher and anchovy as well as a straigh...

nice nice. Barchaser i fish out of bamfield so similar area. Do you fish primarily in barkely sound and offshore such as areas like the big bank, se corner, places like that? Or do you go up from uclulet?? Also wondering on the silvers if you were there in late august 2 years ago. the coho fishing w...

Way to go nate. looks like you don't even need a boat. How many springers have you got from shore this year? I remember you saying you caught a couple in the cow...

I was thinking it was going to be a Duke Nukem thread... "Hail To The King Baby"

Hahaha I just bought the new game sooo id be lying if I said that line wasn't in my head.

haha power in numbers. what runs in there? i hear a big run of pinks. silvers and chinook too? chums?

Ive never fished the puyallup before, whats it like? this sounds like a good idea.

just got back from ketckikan, ak. fished with some friends for 2 days. boated 8 kings between 2 days, lost a few more. size ran from 13 to 31 pounds. Im holding up the two biggest fish, 28 and 31 pounds.

Im with you. I need to get a new baitcaster for float fishing. my old ones hurting from all the kings and chums its fought. Cant wait to get a crack at some kings. first in the salt on vancouver island, then the samish and vedder.

Alright, salmon fishing is already going on for springers, saltwater is just picking up, and its only a matter of time before Chinook start showing up in rivers. Everybody post their big Kings on this page.

for me, 4lb, 22 inch rainbow (whatcom creek), 18 inchj brown, (pass lake), 8lb dolly (upper skagit), 14lb steelhead (vedder river), 22 inch cutt (lake washington)

I prefer bait under a bobber. Also try out using a wrap around float as this makes it so you don't have to use stops. My rig consists of essentially a bottom drifting rig under a bobber. I just tie my line to the swivel and pencil lead, and run a 2 foot leader off that with some pink yarn and eggs o...

Ive fished silver quite a bit. not as good as it used to be. some good sized cutts in there, regular planter bows. I miss it when they used to plant loids. back to back years i caught 22 inch triploids on opening day, and the biggest fish ive seen caught there was about 26 inches. They aren't any tr...

Ill have to agree with matt for once. Pass is my favorite now, and I caught my biggest cutthroat out of lake washington.

For bass, I love a weightless zoom trick worm in motor oil. im also a fan of hula poppers, and when I really wanna catch fish, I use a nightcrawler.

I just started fly fishing in lakes and have been experimenting with sinking/floating line while trolling woolly buggers. Ive fished pass lake a few times and on the troll and the floating line almost always catches more fish, the floating line even took a brown on the troll.
