Northwest Fishing Reports

The next headline will read, "Man infected with rare and unidentified facial fungus sues City for negligence."

FWIW Guemes Island and Crpyess Island are both SAN JUAN ISLANDS. If you are fishing around either of those spots you are, in fact, IN the islands my friend.

Welcome to the forum, great first post. You are correct in your assessment that A7 fishers tend to be fairly tight lipped. Once you get to know some of the regulars out there most of your needed intel comes via text message or phonecall. Of late, fishing pressure has been increasing exponentially in...

2 things: Use a good quality swivel on your mainline. I generally run a stainless ball bearing swivel with a coastlock snap on it on my mainline, then clip that snap to my flasher. I mainly do this for easy gear change-outs. I frequently change whole setups if I can't find what the fish want, and it...

I would much much rather see gill nets in the bay than in the rivers. Probably a Tulalip boat, and their hatchery does Chum, Chinook, and Coho... so they kind of have every right to those fish, especially considering they DO NOT net the Snohomish River.

No harm no foul I say. Let em' fish.

Shilshole ramp 8/30/15 - 30 boats with 35 Coho. And that was a week ago.

The coho are in NOW don't waste any time waiting for them. They have been catching steady limits in many of the go-to areas.

See you out there.

Welp.... there goes any free time I had for October.

I was in the Snohomish river today, and we saw temps of 16.5*c (62*f). Well below lethal levels for salmonids.

Unfortunately now we are in a holding patern/stalemate. The tribes are going to advise the state to proceed with caution on the openers.... If the state tries to open the tribes will likely push back. It's going to take a cooperative agreement to open them up at this point. Here in lies one of the g...

FWIW you want to fish Lawrence on the Ebb.

Where are you located?

Pinks.

That is all. Carry on.

I think you're over thinking it.... lol

The reg book reads like an Ikea instruction pamphlet for a Decowonder Entertainment Center.

"Insert peg L into cam lock N on leg T-1. Twist leg T-1 in an anti-clockwise fashion until peg F lines up with Ikea smartmatch locking nut NB-3. Repeat steps 1-9 to affix leg T-1 to your face."

Langus is a great launch but it is way down river from where the majority of people are fishing. Langus is less effected by the tides, but you have a long run up river and a couple huge no wake zones to get through. I think rotary is good at anything above a 0 tide, but its been a while. Do NOT atte...

I believe the reg in question reads "2 Salmon, combined PLUS two additional PINKS." So you can keep 2 adult salmon, any species that are open (or a combination thereof) plus 2 ADDITIONAL pink salmon, for a total of 4 salmon.... all pinks if you so choose. Once the silvers show it can be 2 silvers, 2...

For pelagic fishes like Silvers and Pinks, it is best to troll with the current. The fish will swim with there heads INTO the current for the most part, especially so in the upper water column. So if you go with the current, you will be dragging it into their face, if you go against it you are dragg...

If you are willing and able I would say launch that puppy at Mukilteo and go get involved in the Slay Fest in humpy hollow in the sound, Area 8-2. It has been completely lights out for pinks out there for several weeks now.

I meant about the possibility of a group meet up.
