Northwest Fishing Reports

So the snoho opens the first but we havent had any rain recently so what are you guys doin? I was going to go out and launch at langus park in everett and troll around dick nites and plugs?

Thanks,
Chandler

i'll be out there one or two days over memorial day weekend.. probably launch at Langus as well and look for fish..

You mean Labor day weekend?

I used to fish langus everyday for silvers after work... Heres a tip... Just above I-5 on the right hand side about 400 yards there is a deep slot that you can see on the fish finder ... Go up till it starts getting shallow and kill the motor.... Drop dick nites and cannon balls to bottom and just drift with the current down stream .... Keep them on the bottom and hang on, wether will rip your arms off when they hit.... Good luck

I don't have my sled anymore, but if you need extea ballast in the boat, give me a call...

Sounds like it will be a party!!!!!!

I Dont have any electronics, but ill find the drop and try that! Do you guys think there will be any fish up yet without any rain?

Probably good fishable numbers by Sept 15th

We are talking real schools.... Was down there Saturday and saw 1 fish jump in an hour, I'm used to a hundred an hour when in thick.....

50/50 wee and medium dick nites, froggy/nickel. same sizes.. feather type jigs, reds and purples.. thats the short answer i'm no pro but those are effective for me..

read up.. you have to fish these right to be effective

i lose a couple hundred $ a yr in snags.. haha

Hey oneshot.... It's not losing gear, it's making a donation to the fish gods.... I used to tell new river anglers to fill a fishing vest full of tackle , and the first time on the water, remove half of it and throw it in the water... No need to even tie it on your line.... Just throw it in, make your donation and after that you'll catch fish....
