Northwest Fishing Reports

Just saw this on the KOMO 4 website:

By Associated Press
PIERCE COUNTY -- Search and rescue crews are seaching for a fisherman who has been missing since Friday.

Deputies said a group of men were fishing at Silver Lake in Graham on Friday in an inflatable when one of them fell overboard. The other men dove in after the victim, but could not pull him out.

Searchers and divers began combing the lake and the shoreline on Friday night, but did not find the man. They resumed the search on Saturday morning.

The missing man is described as a 25 year old from Roy.

The Pierce County Sheriff's Department's Marine Services Unit and Dive Team is conducting the search with help from Central Pierce Fire and Graham Kapowsin Fire.

The search is ongoing.


My thoughts and prayers go out to this guy and his family. Anyone know if he's one of us? This really makes me reconsider wearing my PFD instead of just keeping it with me in the boat, especially as it gets colder and I start wearing heavier clothes that'll make it difficult to swim/stay afloat if I go overboard.

We were heading out to sliver this morning and our friends were soppose to meet us there.
They got there and the police had it all closed off .We had know idea this was happening.
Our friend called and said turn around and head to Kowposin the lakes closed today.

There are a lot of houses on the lake but I had heard the resort was (only access to the lake) closed.

That would be a 2nd tragedy for out there this year.

I add my prayers to yours EastsideRedneck!

That really sucks...too bad to hear that.

Man that sucks,I never think about something like that to me while fishing.I guess I'll do what my girlfriends been trying to get me to do and go buy a good life jacket and wear it.

so this is not the Cowlitz Co. silver?

Anyways yep you should have your PDF on all the time in the winter not just when the big motor is on. Or even just a trolling motor on smaller lakes like this one.

That's horrible, the one rule when my parrents let me fish by myself was that I would always wear my lifejacket. Something like this is always an extra reminder.
