Northwest Fishing Reports

2.71 on a Red Eye Shad lipless crank. My first (and only) fish of the year!

Just thought I'd share here for everyone. A friend of mine and fellow WBC member, Henry Dover, will be putting on several seminars coming up soon. Here's a link to Bass Pro Shop's Tacoma store page: http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CFPageC?storeId=10151&catalogId=10051&langId=-1&appI...

Thanks Tom. Any local little lakes worth visiting? We were thinking 12 in Black Diamond just for the hell of it.

Am I crazy? Probably. Cabin fever is killing me! I've made plans with two other Western Bass Club members to take our small boats out on a local lake this coming weekend. Any cold water, real winter tactics? I have a shaky head and bitsy bug jig rigged up on finesse spinning gear. Trying to figure o...

I'm hoping to hit up some lakes over President's Week. I tried a local lake a few weeks ago. Frozen solid!

Hope to see you Wednesday!

Thanks for the tips!

I'm interested! Just joined the club too.

Congrats!

Got it! https://flic.kr/p/J9oMoD
