Northwest Fishing Reports

With an 8 year old, Lake Bradley in Puyallup might be an option. The WDFW sites says Bradley "open year round only for juvenile anglers, senior anglers, and anglers with a disability" with "good shoreline access" and is stocked with trout. https://wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/locations/lowland-lakes/lake-bra...

Personal best smallie at 4lbs 5oz at Lake Tapps. Drop shot, just outside weeds with scattered stumps, 20 feet.

Congrats !

Humminbird's store has Western States 2.0 card as the current lake list version for sale. Lakemaster v2.0 card looks like it was released 2015 as the lake list has "new for 2015" lakes. Yea, no Potholes. Moses and Banks are listed, but they are not high def. Don't know if Potholes will be added or n...

I asked about hotels in the Potholes / Moses Lake area: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=23975

WDFW has a mobile fishing app. Map shows lakes along with applicable regulations (seasonal, year-round, 2-pole).

Site says the app is "beta" before official launch this month, but I've been using it for weeks without any problems.

Eagerly awaiting for my copy to arrive - hopefully this Thursday or Friday.

Can someone switch from cookies to water, say a couple cases? Otherwise looking good!

FYI - I'll be bringing 4 cases of water.

I’ll be attending the NWFR Lake Chelan BQ meet and have some first-timer newb questions regarding camping at the State Park. I arrive on Thursday and leave Sunday. I’ll be towing my boat and camping out of my truck bed tent. I know it’s first-come-first-served regarding claiming a campsite. I’ve vie...

Thanks all for the comments. As for the Shilo Inn, visitors have noted on Google reviews that the place is being remodeled.

Just me. If supplies such as plastic cups, utensils, plates, napkins, paper towels, and trash bags are needed, I’ll bring them.

Otherwise I can bring cases of water and varieties of chips (quantities based on the head count).

Thanks Larry for the hotel info and dining locations. I should have worded my electricity access preference about being able to run a long power cord out of ones room without hotel management complaining. Maybe I should consider bringing large plastic floor mats to be able to cover a cord crossing a...

Thanks for the reply. Yea, the state park has camping cabins (Mar Don too but only four, I think). Wanted to get additional recommendations on other places to stay in case both the park and Mar Don are booked. I would go to Potholes during midweek rather than on the weekend to have a better chance o...

I hope to head over to Potholes this year for some bass fishing. I'd like to get suggestions on "boater friendly" locations around the Moses Lake area to stay at (i.e. parking for a truck with boat and electricity to charge batteries overnight). I am aware of Mar Don resort and camping at the state ...

I was renewing my tabs online for my boat trailer and noticed that the RTA fee had gone up by $10. :scratch: RTA normally decreases. Although my 2015 truck has several months before renewal, I took a look and... [cursing] . My RTA fee increased by $318 bringing my tab renewal to nearly $600, almost ...

Thanks for the heads up.

Was looking at the exhibitor and demo list and am a bit disappointed. Then I looked at the PNW Show in Portland in early February. Much more on both. Might skip ours and run down there... If you've never been to the Portland show I would highly recommend checking it out. Figure on a full day. They ...
