On the water around 7:15. Cloudy and windy to start out. Worked a square bill drifting down the northern end of the lake. Missed a good bite, then got towards the weed line and pulled out the drop ...

I've had some great days fishing on Lake Goodwin, but this might have been my best morning there as far as action and fish quality. I was at the gate right as the ranger opened it up to the launch. By...

Average day for small fish. Added my 11 yr old grandson to the mix today, so three of us flayling away with our rods! We all caught fish up to about 15"--mostly smaller. Somehow managed to get home wi...

Pulled into Goodwin right at 7:00AM just after they opened the gates. Gear down in the fog by 7:30. Not much going today. We managed 4 dinks on tubes and hula grubs, but couldn't find any decent fish....

Always have to fish Father's Day, regardless of the weather. Today was much uglier weather wise than what had even been predicted yesterday. Pretty steady drizzle in the morning with a little bit of w...

After a couple pretty poor trips for LMB at local lakes, I decided to head back to Goodwin to see what was up with the Smallies. My son and I hit the water at about 8 AM and went to the usual spots. I...

Really a maybe 3 star day, but I will get to that in a moment. I got on the water just after 7am and began my troll. I wanted to get an early start to beat the Memorial Day Weekend crowd, and more par...

Beautiful day on the lake! Sunny and basically calm for several hours, then just a slight breeze that rotated 360 degrees around the compass until we left. Didn't catch many fish, but managed a couple...

I was going to get up and head out to Lake Stevens, but the recent poor fishing reports there (guides are struggling) coupled with the weather uncertainty, I made an executive decision at 3am when the...

After spending the past 3 weekends Kokanee fishing, I just couldn't see myself getting up at 3am again, so instead I decided to hit up my home lake this morning

On Saturday I went out to Roesiger, fished in the absolute poring down rain, and got my butt handed to me. So Sunday I decided I needed to feel a little better about myself and went back out to Goodwi...

Pretty much a repeat day of last Sunday, except it rained most of the morning today. After playing around with what was in last weeks fish's stomach, I went with an Olive Woolly Bugger instead today. ...

Took a couple of casts off my dock just to see if anything would cooperate. Yamamoto double tail skirted grub on a 3/8 oz jig head. Only one hit but it stuck. No scale but it was about 15 or 16 inc...

Nada. Only had a short period to fish today, but headed to Goodwin since the wx was good. We concentrated on a couple areas that usually produce a bite or two and hit them with our usual weapons of ch...

Pretty tough day, but with the first fish within 10 minutes right at 3.35#, and the last fish in the last 10 minutes at 2.88# it was a pretty good day! Only one dink caught between those too. The bigg...
