Gearing Up for the June 6th Opener

Posted July 16, 2014

As many of you guys might know, the date of June 6th is the opener on many of the West side streams and rivers. Everyday is one day closer to the date. Following the weather patterns in the weeks prior to June is a key thing for your fishing.

Battle Ground Lake Bass Fishing

These big green elusive monsters have been ruling over this lake since way back when. In most cases these fish are dang near impossible to catch. Besides the tight line worm fishermen hooking onto, “the huge fish that snapped their line….”These fish are probably never even hooked. These fish have seen every lure in your resume. They have become so line...

2014 Spring Chinook Kicks off Well!

Posted March 19, 2014

Columbia River Spring Chinook! What a welcome sight to see a high prediction of upriver Spring Chinook for 2014! We're smack dab in the early stages when pictures are showing up, reports are coming in and anglers are getting their gear wet in anticipation of the best tasting salmon to enter our waters!This has no doubt been a year of odd water conditions. Super low water plagued our early winter steelhead fishery and then with the onset of rain, we've experienced many weeks of unfishable conditions. Between all of that there have been absolute slay-fests, dry spells, weak runs, great...
