Northwest Fishing Reports

Well it's official. Somebody smashed my Idaho State catch and release pike record that stood for just under two years. On October 20th Scott Blahnik topped my 46"er with a whopping 49"er. Congratulations to him for releasing a monster like that!! I have no idea if he was dead baiting or using artifi...

I would be happy to take you fellas out on Pend Oreille lake some time.
Maybe you can teach me a thing or two.

Well, at least I have a new goal now. Maybe some day I can become a real man like Rick.

9 pike in the last two trips puts me up to 165 for the year. Not a bad year. Not my best numbers year but I found a lot of quality fish this season. Looks like I'm done till spring. Good luck out there!!

Not seeing this as a race. Just a convenient place to keep track of how many I catch in a year.

I added 13 more pike on Halloween day, and 8 more last Saturday to bring me to 156 on the year. Isn't anyone else pike fishing or are you not counting anymore?

Well, there ya go. You don't need to be unblocked to see what I'm doing. The best part of all this posting is that most people assume that every pike I catch is from Cda Lake. Not so. I have caught fish, quality fish in three different sates this year and, in the past two weeks. I even have Montana ...

What about your Spies? Can't one of them hook you up?

@1 more pike on Sunday brings my total to 134 for the year. Most were in the 24-26" range but I did manage an 8 pounder and a GIANT 44"X 24' girth 28 pounder. Pics are on my instagram at @thepikesupremacist

I took last week off to do some fall pike fishing. The weather could have been better but throughout the week I released 19 pike bringing me to 113 for the year. No monsters but several 30"ers and one 33"er.

Fished a new location and I released 8 pike a couple weekends ago, then two more last weekend bringing me to 94 for the year. Fishing was real slow last weekend. Must have been the sunny weather

I added 4 more pike on Saturday the 19th bumping me to 84 on the year. Not a big numbers day but nice fish with a couple of 30"ers and a 33 1/2"er made for a good trip, along with 5 nice large mouth bass.

I fished Montana over the weekend for pike in the smokey conditions. The smoke was up higher in the mountains when we started at about 6:30 am but it worked it's way down to us throughout the day. It got pretty thick by the time we left at about 4pm. I released 13 pike on the day bringing me to 80 f...

I fionally got back out for some pike fishing on Sunday. I released 6 pike with the two biggest weighing in at 6lbs and 13 lbs. That gets me to 67 for the year

Don't give up now Rick. I plan to up the bar on my catch and release record this fall. Stay tuned!!

The chains always slow down during the summer. Main Cda lake deep weed edges are your best bet this time of year. Hang in there, things will cool down and the pike fishing will heat up!

I was recently given a box full of vintage Lucky Louie salmon plugs, in various colors and sizes. I had seen this lure on Ebay before and knew that some of them sold for a pretty penny. I not a salmon guy and have no use for them. I'm trying to find someone that can help me determine their value. Mo...

I fished Monday August 3rd and released 4 pike. That gets me to 61.
Anyone else fishing for pike?

3 more saturday gets me to 57

I released 8 more pike on Saturday the 11th. Total for the year sits at 54
