I got there a little later (7:45) but it was hot. Got a fish my first cast on my beat-up jig. Caught/released 4 before I found a keeper. It seems there were a lot of darker fish, especially early i...

Got there at sunrise & two of my fishing buddies were already casting & catching nearly every cast. I put new line on my reel last night so I immediately rat-nested & had to take off about 20 yards ...

Another awesome day. Still using the barbless hook, I caught everything on either my (now falling apart) home-made jig w/the pink/white curly tail or on a size 0 Dick Nite. Both with pinched barbs. ...

They put another 8000 fish in Greenlake yesterday, but I found out last evening that every fish I was catching in the dump area was small and dark, so I fished the NE corner (opposite side of lake) th...

Got there at 7:30. Put on a home-made jig and hooked one right away. After a few more casts I switched to a dark rooster tail and caught another on the 1st cast.
As I was putting the 2nd fish on t...

There needed to be another star added for today. It was fish-on from the very first light and it never stopped. I was being selective about the fish I was keeping so I didn't use any power bait (so ...

Another awesome day. Started off about 8:30-9:00, catching one w/a small silver kastmaster on my 4th cast. Changed to a Dick Nite and got another. Then switched to power bait - caught 7 more before...

Okay - so they technically weren't really steelhead as they haven't gone to sea and returned, but that would pretty much be the only difference in the fish being pulled out of the lake. They planted ...

I hit Metzler's Drift this morning. Got there at sunrise and the gate was locked, so we street parked and hiked in. It was a tough morning - one pair of fishermen seemed to catch all the fish, or at...

Hit Greenlake at sunrise - my buddy caught one 1st cast with a rooster tail. We ended up w/9 on the stringer, some caught on powerbait, some on spinners, some on spoons. It was a bit slower than it'...

It was quiet - saw only 3 fish jump and not sure what they were. I did ho...

I hit the Green River enthused this morning - weather was supposed to be decent and not that much rain over the past couple of days. I was set up for chum fishing, but could switch to coho if needed....

I went there w/my buddy Tim early to fish the outgoing tide w/spinners. We hit the riffle and hiked out to the point so we didn't have to worry about any snags - also typically a great place to plunk...

Tough day on the river - didn't see a single coho caught or even jump. Every boat I asked that came by said the same thing.
I tried a vibrax, corky/yarn and finally a 'frog' Dick Nite (spotted g...

This is a combined report from yesterday (Saturday) and today (Sunday, 10/5). Yesterday was good but not as good as Friday - lots of fish being caught but definitely a notch lower than Friday.

Slow day on the Wallace. Didn't see many rolling or jumping and the water was a bit high and too murky to see even from the bridge.
I started by drifting eggs, switched out to corky, then just ya...
