Northwest Fishing Reports

Another great video Danny! But how come you don't let your dad reel in any fish?

Like mizm05 said, temp is a big part of the problem. A bit cooler weather and we will have more biters. Warmer water makes them less active.

float fishing and drift fishing are not trolling.

Being in a boat does not make it legal. Buoyant lure or trolling to be legal. That is the way I read it anyways.

Trailer hook huh. Maybe that's what I need! I get lots of short strikes and strikes where they only get my eggs and by the hook! How do you tie on a trailer? (I know I can google it) What size are you using? I went up in size and greatly reduced the missed hook ups! Was rather surprised and the imm...

SOLD!

1/0 or 2/0 I was using smaller and found that I was missing more bobber downs. When I switched to larger size hooks my hook up ratio went way up.

AJFishdude and a couple others have asked to see the jigs I use on the stilly, so I thought I would post a pic. The color is fluorescent blue....not a common color but was my number 1 producing jig last season and is the one I caught silver on this morning. I mostly use 3/8 or 1/2 and on occasion 5/...

Finally landed first stilly silver for the season!! Still not much activity...did not see any jumpers or rollers. Caught it at first light twitching jigs. Really looking forward to the big numbers and of coarse the BIG hooknoses!!

I have a scotty electric downrigger (24 inch boom) excellent condition for sale. I have it listed on CL for $275 but will sell for $250 to persons interested here on WL. Let me know if interested.

Fished haller last night for about an hour, saw plenty jumping and rolling but they have zero interest in biting. Thought for sure there would be a few willing to bite at first day light this morning. Got there before daylight and fished till 11:00. Plenty of jumpers and rollers but the silvers just...

exactly......bring it on, our mountains need the snow pack.

There you go! right on!

Hey goodtimes, did you get a weight on that steelhead in your avatar? I have always called it 18 pounds but to get technical it was almost 18.25 the biggest steelhead I have landed. I have seen pics of 20+ pounders that where much smaller, if you know what I mean. I never could understand why peopl...

Check out this recently caught 31 pound native on the Quinault (by a guide). Not going to name the guide, but a search of Quinault fishing guides on FaceBook should pull it up. 1497381_658102280899952_1095266167_n.jpg WOW!!! that thing is huge.......truly looks to be 31 pounds.....I know some on he...

That is some sweet steel there Danny!!

4steelhead that was really cool of you to help him out. I hope lots of good karma to you!

That is funny. Only read the first review but that was enough. I read it aloud to a few in the room and everyone was almost in tears. I think I will stick to real sugar.

Hope you're right goodtimesfishing! The bad part about that is, the later they come the faster they hit the tanks/hatchery. Which means less time for them to hang out and provide us with great fishing. They didnt "flood in"... A few late fish showed and escapement was barely met. Even if that does ...
