Northwest Fishing Reports

I dont use B-Bombs anymore found better gear last time, I got all my pink stuff starting in Janurary, I didnt want to get caught up in the frenzy again. Found a CB weight supplier getting 50 1/2OZ CB's for $8. so I bought 500, should be enough for the rivers........

Thanks Pooh

Can someone answer a question for me?

Why did the state change the number of silvers you can keep from the cow this fall? Last year after October 1st it was 6 silvers, this year its 2 all year. I can see changing the numbers if the run is down. what gives?

Also where is Mill Creek on the Cow?

I have a few Okuma Celio I keep in the trunk so if I see a fishable place I fish it, I use 8-6 and the rod rating is 8-12(I think might be 8-17) line rating. I got mine for $40 at Sportco in Fife, added a Pflueger Asuro baitcater and was ready to go for $130. You could do a Okuma pole, decent spin r...

Hi Bodo,

I actually wont ever be more than 1/2 a mile away from some piece of land. I will be mostly in the narrows of Kecthikan and up by Settleers Cove. No wider than Hoods Canal.

Need some assist, I am going to KTN AK for 10 days this August and only a couple charter days the other days I have rented a 17 foot alum with downriggers. I am new to the use of downriggers and hardware setup(I am mostly a river guy). I have 2 med 8-6 poles running 15 lb main with level winds. We a...

Hey Spokey...I really like Salmon University's recipe. It's very simple and very dependable...follow it to a tee to start with, then tweek it a little for your own custom flavor. I doubt you will be disappointed!! I have used this dry mix only a few times still tweaking to my taste, I dont like a s...

I have used many different types of brines. A couple years back I tried a dry brine. 3 cups brown sugar to 1 cup non iodized salt. Brine for 24 hrs. Rinse off pieces and pat dry on smoker rack. Let air dry 8 hrs. Then start smoking. I have maybe used 1 other brine since I first found this recipe. I...

OK i got my boot king to smoke. I'll get it smoked by mid next week. It is filleted and frozen right now but I segregated it from the brighter fish so as not to have an oopsy cooking a cedar plank alder smoked BBQ fillet with a gold boot on it. Here are some tasty pics LOL (it was a big boot at 39-...

As fisherman would we be required to start an initiative to ban gill nets or setup some sort of selective fishery?

I dont mind the native netting but I HATE the wasting. If we are going to ban anything we should ban the fish trawlers that scoop up salmon by the thousands. Make everything from Neah bay east a non comercial area which includes the entire puget sound for every species not just salmon. How much mone...

I cant complain but I will, I live in the puyallup are and we have Dicks( they are kind of like a joes in the selections department) Then not to far away about 10 miles is outdoor emporium/Sportco in Fife and then Wholesale sports(AKA Sportmesn Warehouse) in Federal Way. ButWent went up north a few ...

Tmobile user here to, no reception in most of hood canal either.....

I lose reception on my way to the cow once I go past Alder Lake, no reception in morton either.

Down near St Marys on the south end of Lake CDA there is an old railroad bridge that you can fish from that goes over the lake, used to catch tons of Crappie down there in the cooler part of the year using green grubs. Also while down there try fishing the deeper banks with a copper spoon for pike. ...

So I booked with Tall Tails Guide Service For one day and Float Assasins for another day, and someone is sharing there boat for yet another day. and I think we will do one day from the banks, and the last day for rest. Neither my friend or I have been fishing specifically for steelhead so looking fo...

Looking for a guide or someone with a sled or drift that we can cover gas on or ? to go out on 7-3-2010 on the Skykomish to do some fishing, We have gear or can buy what we dont have just dont have a boat and have never fished steelhead before and would like to spend some time fishing and learning. ...

Well, i figured since the 09 season is wayning down, not ending just coming to a close I would share my experiences and thoughts. I fished more rivers this year than any other in the 3 years I have been fishing rivers. I have learned much this year and enjoyed several limit days even if they were pi...

So I dont see any pictures of examples for dog salmon so here go:cheers:

I fall on either side of the ban, If it passes, as long as I can still fish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Netting gets me to, The non tribal commercial should be ended in the sound and any tribal should be only legal to what was used for cathing fish when the treaty for tribal fishing was signed. There was an initiative that stopped the use of dogs for cougar hunting cant we do an initiave that would st...
