Despite previous sightings, I did not see a single smelt! Normally they are boiling at the boat launch, & they glitter the ends of most docks. Water was still cold at about 47°. I spent the first few ...

I haven't had much success with winter bass fishing this year. I've been hitting Lake Sawyer lately on my kayak lately because I heard there are smallies in there. I haven't had any success there, s...

Fishing for trout on Lake Sammamish has been a bit hit or miss lately. Usually I hook a couple but it takes several hours to get even that. Today it was equally slow but I did catch two nice cutthroat...

I don't get to Sammamish to fish but once every few years, and every time the lake has made me work to figure them out, but that's half of what makes fishing fun! I started the morning out in front...

Fished on both Thursday 10/8 and Friday 10/9 with my 23 yo son. He always catches fish because he uses a dropshot rig with nightcrawlers and a small hook. So he catches perch and sunfish all day, some...
