I went out to Black lake this morning near Olympia. I had seen big trout jumping this summer and I was hoping they'd be ready to bite now. Fish were biting, but not the huge ones. I got on the water a...

I have been wanting to try Rimrock in the fall, so yesterday I got up early and made the 3.5 hour drive. Not only is the boat launch closed, but the road leading to it is gated as well, so there's no ...

I went to Ross lake this weekend for the fist time in years and I really lucked out. 3 big fish in less than 2 hours, one of which was easily my personal best. I hiked down to the lake and fished from...

This was a horrible fishing trip. I don't understand why people love this lake. First there's a million turns to get there, then I couldn't find the boat launch as there are no signs and all the drive...

My first time at Tanwax lake today. Unlike fishing yesterday, this lake has a decent number of fish, but they're all small apparently. I only hooked one bass and it was pretty small. I caught two perc...

We had a lot of problems fishing this lake. First don't listen to google maps. They tried to take us to the old access area which is privatized and closed and there are nasty signs all over that end o...

So I didn't actually fish the river today, but I fished 3 areas in the Middle-Fork valley. First I did the short hike to Oxbow lake and brought my raft. 2 years ago that lake was full of small bass. T...

This is the second time I've fished this lake, and the second time I got skunked. I got there around 1:30 which is a terrible time to fish, and conditions seemed decent for fish. I went about a mile d...
