Northwest Fishing Reports

Silver Lake has slowed down way to much for my liking. Its been 3 trips since I have caught anything there. I am wondering if Martha Lake or Thomas Lake are hitting? I dont see any reports for Thomas Lake at all so no way to know that one. Anyone fished either of these lately?

I live right by Thomas Lake, and I'm pretty sure it's on private property and therefore closed to fishing. It's really small anyways, more a pond than a lake.

Actually, just found out it's owned by the Estates at Thomas Lake Homeowners Association. So definitely private property, however, not sure that it would be strictly enforced. I might see if I could make an early morning venture down there with my pontoon boat one of these days to check it out.

Lake Howard in Stanwood (Just a bit northwest of Goodwin) has been great for Rainbows. Public launch and very low traffic. We have been limiting out 3-4 people in a couple hours. Just bottom fishing powerbait along the shore. Lots of 8"ers, but we have been pulling out at least two 20"+ each time. Pretty fish too. Not bad eating at all.

I guess there are bass in there as well, but we haven't put any effort into that yet.

I was at Lake Thomas 2 weeks ago. DEFINITELY no trout anywhere you are going to get and you would need to carry your pontoon boat over a gate and about 100 yards to even get to the first section of water that is not even connected to the lake proper.

I've been skunked from shore the last 3 times I've been to Martha Lake (the one near Alderwood). People trolling still seem to be hitting. I think I'm going to head to Gissberg Ponds either this afternoon or Tuesday depending on the weather.

Saw a guy killin' the "trips" at Gissberg the other day...15-16 inch fish on EVERY cast with a small silver Kastmaster right from the right hand corner by the parking lot! He said he had a school right in front of him, so I'm suspect of a recent plant. Took his 5 fish and went home in about 10 minutes. Said he was driving by and saw a lot of surface activity so stopped and threw the spoon. Hope you get into them too!

I think I saw someone say that Gissberg was stocked on the 13th of this month. So its probably plump and ready to go.

Yesterday it wasn't hitting. I caught one of the 358 16" triploids they planted on the 13th and only saw 1 other fish taken from shore amongst the 20 or so people I saw fishing. The guy trolling blades and a wedding ring only picked up what looked like 4 small stockers in the 6 hours I was there. Now if the weather stays relatively nice and stable for a few days it may pick up substantially. I plan on hitting it again sometime this weekend

I might do the same. I haven't fished there since I was young. Mixed reports are good enough for me.

Why dont you try lake stickney it has always been good for me its south three blocks or so from 128th st I caught three today rainbows 12_13 inchers lots of bites and good times to be had by all maybe I'll see you there
