Northwest Fishing Reports

Alright, you're not all going soft are you? Who's out there fishing, LOL.
I plan on going down to the beach in the next few days just as long as we aren't in that wind. Ticks me off when my casts won't sail.
More reports on the home page... winter cutt. trolling lake WA. G-man, fire up the boat. rah rah.:bounce:
Hillbilly... Lk. stevens Kokanee. Kuttkilla, you know the slow winter troll on the cutts.
Common you cupcakes!

I want too,but the small lakes around are partially froze over....not safe for ice fishing.
Might have to take the battle axe and make a spot

We broke out the cupcakes#-o 4:30am= high was 5 low was -10 all gear flash froze hitting the air and the 60mph stuff hit us as forcasted just when we made in back for a Cupcake or 12!
Bodo, Linden, floater:cheers: Great effort hiked in 2 feet of fresh stuff over ice and came up unable even to get a cast when the winds hit and we crawled for the trail head at least I did:colors: and the boys in most went over the ice I went through it poorly and Zero style points :colors:
Tight lines Fish on!

I know Tony,, I search the reports every day, and your river report on the 17th is the only thing in there.

I'd be out on the lake if it weren't for the road conditions leading down from the hill on which I live. I'll need to go and get some chains or cables for my boat trailer if this is going to continue much longer! In the mean time, now is a great time to take care of any needed maintenence and get the gear ready for when the conditions become more favorable. Stay warm and be safe! Wind, water and freezing temps are a dangerous combo when boat fishing, can you say ice build up?

Icy ramps is what keeps the OLYBOYZ at home...we are gonna do some cough cough yes BANK fishing..that almost hurts to say

went down to the naches and the yakima river today in hopes to try for some more whitefish but there was to much ice floating down. may get some pancake ice. 0 degrees and snowing right now. the river edges were unsafe to get down to. have to check out a lake/pond here soon.

-15:bigsmurf: Works swell on metal Tubs and kickers:colors:
They do provide better Ice breakers with a 250' bottom.

Weather should never be the deal breaker layers, heaters, icers, lubes and hand and feet warmers will still provide some winter fish on fun:bounce:
Just ask Bodofish his kicker did not enjoy the Trip as much as we did
Remember in these elements still drink lots of waters and high protien low fat foods:brilsmurf

i would love to go fishing but i live in spokane and we have got record breaking snow fall all the roads in my neiborhood had atleast 26-30 inches till they finally plowed yearlier today and its going to snow more tonight my car has good snow tires and gets around great but its low to the ground and i have to chance off going through deep snow. but next week end they should be caught up on the plowing so im heading to rufus woods or atleast sprague lake

lucky you i live a mile from the plow barn and watched two plows go by with plows up

I made the trek yesterday to Tacoma & fished the bug rod for cutts & rezzies. Was surprised at how many were out fishing instead of spending money at the malls. Only 1 cuttie wanted to play but rezzies were plentiful and cooperative. Was going to go to the Nasty today and play with the chrome chum lords but it took me way too long to shovel out my 65 yard long driveway. My 4wd Titan can go through a lot of snow but the wind blew in some 3' drifts.

Tooooooo Cold for me. My two boats are put away for the winter. I do get the "fever" and want to go out but I am not interested in being miserable freezing my hands and feet off. Been there done that, not for me.

I don't do much fishing when it gets this cold...Skiing is my other big outdoor hobby, I hit the slopes when it gets chilly and snowy.....

you guys are nuts!

went down and bought an 8" ice auger:cheers: i'll be out some where after the holiday:thumleft: useing my now vintage ice gear.

I like fishing this time of year.While most of you are out shopping I get to fish.I take my fire bucket and my Baileys And get cozy on the Green.I may not catch much but it sure is pretty and peacefull.To me thats what its all about.I like just being out there.

Am taking my tube out to the water this weekend. Am sure want be out for to long but dont have to worry about getting up the ramp with the float tube. As long as I am bundled up well ... the water temp will still be as warm as the air temp.

I temp. put my gear away - needed space in the trunk. Besides its tooo cold - and too much snow right now - maybe after the New Year and I will return.

OK Quad,..I'll admit right now I'm just a "Chocolate-Covered-Cupcake",..sorry it's just way 2 cold for this "Island-Boy",..besides I'm not much of a "Bank-Angler" and it's just 2 nasty 2 try and tow the boat,..and of course my wife would kill me,..HAHA,..!!!
