Northwest Fishing Reports

That's a sweet combo. Great for big steelies and salmon!

3-5 ft.

I do the exact same thing with no reason to change.

Wouldn't bother going until it gets under 2000

For me I feel like #4 is the only solution. It promotes change which is what the Puget Sound needs. It Replaces the cookie cutter hatchery brats with what are essentially hatchery raised native steelhead. It won't mitigate the gene pool over time because the same fish wont be used year after year to...

Learn to use the baitcaster... You'll get it soon enough, its worth it.

Any sign of chums yet?

sad indeed

Thats my problem, I don't get there that early becuase I'd have to wake up at 2 in the morning! I'm not a coffee drinker so I don't think I could manage that lol.

Personally I just can't figure that river out, Been down there three times this season and not a bite, and it goes the same for everyone else besides the snaggers. I've heard so much about this river and the huge schools of kings but can't seem to find any for myself

No, from the mouth of Purdy up to 101 is still bobber only until the end of the Chinook Season. Even if the hole below the creek is open to all fishing, I wouldn't be caught dead fishing there. Everyone knows those fishing off the rocks are being less than reputable by sight fishing, or in this cas...

It's open for all fishing. No more sections are designated for bobber only come the first.

Anyone else hit the opener besides me? I got there about 8am and was told I had missed whatever bite there was that morning. Didn't see any fish caught or hooked the few hours i was there. Still early in the season

Thanks I'll check it out!

Looking for someone to take us out later this summer. We're looking for more of a guide service rather than charter to keep the people to a minimum of just us. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Go for the aforementioned North Fork Custom. Mainly because they're made from a North Fork Composites blank. Better than anything the big name companies are putting out presently.

I actually bit the dust a couple times in that green river mud due to my felt boots... But when your wading in the water you feel 10x safer than with rubber and thats what matters most.

Wow! Pretty discouraging to say the least lol

Couldn't make it today but hope to make it up there sometime within the next week, heard it was a zoo. How did it go for anyone who was there?
