I fished Upper Goose Lake for the first time. It is a gorgeous lake with little pressure it would seem due to the half-a-mile hike to get to it. However, due to the sweltering heat and my unpreparedne...

I fished Potholes 9-11 am. I fished along the dam, initially casting a senko. After an hour of no hits I tried still fishing a nightcrawler off the bottom, then from a bobber, to see if I could get a ...

I fished Devereaux for the first time today. I was only on the water for half an hour (from 8:30-9:00 pm) because I missed the turn onto WA-3 and didn't realize it until I hit McCleary (set me back al...

I fished the north fork of the Toutle from 3-6:30 pm and caught nothing but a bunch of leaves. The river is very choked-up and extremely muddy. The area of bank I fished from last Saturday is now cove...

I fished the Nisqually from about 4:30 to 6 pm with no success. I saw one fish caught in an area with about a dozen anglers. So, between the nets constantly being out now and the run having peaked, fi...

Woo! I snapped a big fishless-outings streak today. I fished the Nisqually River from 3 to 6:30 pm. Upon arrival I was pretty bummed because the nets were out. So you either had to fish way upstream f...

I fished the Nisqually for silvers from 4:30 to 7. River was pretty dead, not even many fish rolling. Twice during the day the fishing was okay in the combat fishing area, a couple really nice silvers...

Fished the Nisqually from 6:15 am to noon. The river was packed with anglers of course. I used green corkies the majority of the time, but about every color was thrown sometime or another. No fish, mi...

I went fishing at Rotary Lake for Largemouth Bass from 7:45 to 9 pm. The lake was way less crowded than a month ago, but perhaps that's because it was a Wednesday and almost dark. In any case, there w...
