I'm making this a 5+ day; not on quantity, quality. Beautiful, beautiful "Indian Summer" day with virtually no wind. My wife and I were by ourselves for the majority of the time. Still fishing was slo...

Seldom am I disappointed by West Medical, but this time a near SKUNK did occur to me and my wife. Light, tap...tap bites were the frustration of the day. My wife did catch a 11" planter (released), bu...

To be honest, I am puzzled by my lack of recent success at Sprague Lake. Although my wife and I are mere bank anglers, we usually catch a fish or two or at least, we get our share of bites. For the th...

This report is actually for Saturday and Sunday. Saturday, the Wife and I fished Potholes at Medicare Beach and then at Mardon Resort. Due to the wind, Medicare Beach was a bust for fish, but a great ...

Cold, cloudy and then windy with no bites and no fish. One fisherman reported catching a 5 pounder last week and another reported losing two fish just down the bank from us due to old line and no net....

Taking the wife fishing is always fun for me; she caught her limit with two of the rainbows being a very nice size. The majority of the fish were biting extremely light, but one of my wife's large fis...

Not too bad a day...at least for my wife. She caught two; including a 19" football shaped rainbow.
Also, she had a leaping rainbow throw the hook on her and a fourth bite, as well. No bites or fish f...

I would say the bank fishing at Badger Lake is done for the Summer. I've never seen the water level so low. However, at least one boat of still fishermen near the rock wall were catching fish. I picke...
