Northwest Fishing Reports

Anyone out there have success in Liberty for Walleye? I have never caught one and its my home lake. I picked up some black slimers and from what I read walleye like leeches. Any tips or ideas? From what I understand we cannot use real leeches in Washington?

leeches are legal provided you catch them from the same lake you are fishing in.

You might try some Rapalas over the weed beds at night.
Liberty is another WDFW success story.

Thanks guys. Yellow Bear, I assume that was factitious?

Some, lol.

Maybe there are still walleye in Liberty Lake and they just won't bite? Then they use the same theory as they did in Sprague Lake. LOL

What did they do to Sprague lake? Sorry I am kind of new here.

It was a premier spiny ray fishery and so the WA Fish and Game Rotononed (poisoned) all the fish and now stock it with steelhead.

Ran into a person this last week who out of the blue said he had caught a couple 2 years ago. That's the first I had heard of anyone doing that.

That's all I have. Sorry

Liberty has produced a few Walleyes over the years.
IMHO! the WDFW only planted enough to say they tried.
I think more eyes have found there way into Liberty by way of the bucket than the truck.

I hooked one on a fly rod dragging a mudler behind my float tube........10 years ago.

Caught a 3 LBer next to the WDFW Dock about 2 months ago on a perch colored curly tail grub and highead

couple of my friends have caught 9 pounders out of there. on a chatterbait in march during a bass tournament, and at night on a jointed rapala
