Northwest Fishing Reports

Shallow right of docks...6 to 10 feet

Fishing has been decent for small mouth and perch, I suggest for trout,crack of dawn trolling with a pink streamer, or an f-4 frog flat fish slowwww use a small squirt of wd-40.. Perch fishing is awesome from public boat launch northern drift to the middle of the houses (pontoon boat on lift) we use...

We do all the time, use a light salt brine immerse clams 4 hours, rinse lightly and let air dry for an hour. Put in your smoker we use mesquite chips for an hour with one pan of chips.. During smoking taste test the clams they should not be like jerky! Then you can use the left overs and make your f...

try Asian fish cakes, good way to use up your left over trout in the freezer. Fillet Trout and remove skin (1 pound of fillets or any white fish even The scrap fish Tillipia ) Buy some red curry paste at H mart or any upscale super market add fish to food processor, 2 tbs of red curry past, 1/4 tsp ...

Bummer! I am setting my trap today

1 pound white fish (cut into small pieces) Trout fillets skinned I chop them up in a Cuisinart 1 egg (lightly beaten) 1/2 cup long beans (thinly sliced) Green Beans, I chop them small 3 kaffir lime leaves (thinly sliced) You don't really need can substitute some lime juice, they can be found at most...

Had to find a way to keep eating the trout I caught. After awhile they tend to get long in the tooth.

You can find recipes online or respond to...

Crawfish boil is a blend of spices used when you cook your craws. You can find it at most sporting goods outlets, Walmart etc. You add the hot sauce with it and enjoy!

I fish the Craws each season in Banks and surrounding lakes. Taste very good! I recommend using a boil packet and hot sauce. Make sure you understand which are native and which are not, different regs for each. We use our fresh or frozen fish carcases works for us! Oh and any bay or shelf near shore...

Nisqually flats are loaded with flounder, the old docks at Seabeck should be hot right now for spawning pile perch I use night crawlers.

Palmer Lake is off the path, but large and very busy with Canadians headed south (full campgrounds) and Kokanee fishermen. Remember Eastern Washington remote is NOT pet friendly. Coyotes and snakes. We attempted to camp Black Pine but full of drunks. I would suggest prowling Lake Roosevelt along the...

I recomend Port Townsend, short ferry ride lots of old refurbished army barracks (Officer and a Gentleman) you can rent put the whole group in one or two. A decent caterer on site with tons of indoor eating space. Walk on the beach, park, town, marinas, shops great, destination. Its called Fort Word...
