Northwest Fishing Reports

WHATS the biggest trout you have ever caught

18" estimated, last month

I don't fish for trout, but catch one now and then by total accident.

WOW! thats almost the size of my bass

Well ive caught 4.5lb outta lake wa, 10lb outta lake cle elum and 10 and 7lbs outta rufus woods to list a few.

about a 28" cutt taken out of lake Wa while bass fishing late Nov. '09

wowwww biggesty trout i caught was 13 inch

Depends on species. I have caught triploids that pushed 15 lbs in Eastern WA. My biggest resident bow was 6 lbs out of Lake Roosevelt. I have caught Brook Trout up to about 4 lbs in E WA as well on Twin Lakes in Ferry County. Dollies pushing 4 lbs... never caught a brown trout or laker yet though! Biggest kokanee (silver trout) pushing 5 lbs, out of Lake Roosevelt near the San Poil arm.

Matt youve never caught a laker eh? well we can fix that mate.

23" from Rufus.

27" Lahontan, Lake Lenore

Fishin fool, Just for future reference, Rufus trout are measured in pounds not inches.

Have been fortunate enough to land a few pretty nice fish over my fishing career. The following are my best fly caught "trout". All caught on casted flies, hand tied by me and the fish released (weights approx).

Brook trout - 4#
Cutthroat - 5#
Brown - 10#
Resident rainbow - 8 1/2#
Lake rainbow - 20#
Bull trout - low 20s

Sometimes it is just better to be lucky than good!

22# Brown in Utah's Flaming George. 17# Rainbow in Rufus Woods and in Magic Reservoir in Idaho, 9# Snake River Cutt in South East Idaho, ....................

I fish too much.

26 inch brown is my biggest. Caught many bows in the 18-24 inch range.

These are all fish from Michigan, except the cutt

Brook Trout - 16" 1.7 lbs in a stream (and mounted on my wall)
Rainbow - 28" no weight
Brown - 8" only one I ever caught
Cutt - 13"
Lake Trout (mackinaw) - 8 lbs (on Lake Superior)

24" triploid in Beaver Lake. Before the advent of the triploid it was 17 1/4' at the Roza in Yakima county.

I have caught

4 Rainbows in the 6-7 pound range
2 Rainbows in the 5 pound range

13 inch German Brown from Green Lake - Seattle

Cutthroat: 24"
Steelhead: 21 lbs.

I've caught a bunch pushing 20" and some big trips up to 26". Never had a chance to fish rufus but those monster look gigantic. Still chasing my first Mack, that's my goal this year. But some of the best eating fish are the little guys in the alpine lakes, they taste way better than stockies.
