Elk, Washington • 115 Acres
Turkeys were there but so were elk and coyotes. First morning light and watching a flock in the field when the small elk herd busted in. They were having a good time but ran the turkeys off. Later in the day I moved deeper into the woods to a great clearing where I tucked into some boulders. Called in a couple of hens but also a coyote that busted up that party. All in all I had a great day but no bird. The property if perfectly laid out, the cabin was very comfortable, I'd definitely do it agai...

Popular species to fish in Washington

If you're planning your next angling adventure in the Pacific Northwest, Washington State offers a diverse array of fishing opportunities that should not be overlooked. Known for its rich marine life, Washington is home to a variety of popular fish species that attract both novice and experienced anglers. One of the most sought-after species in Washington is the Steelhead Trout. These hard-fighting fish are renowned for their acrobatic leaps and long runs, offering an exhilarating challenge for any angler. They can be found in many of Washington's rivers, including the Columbia and Snake Rivers. Salmon fishing is another highlight in Washington. The state boasts five different species: Chinook (King), Coho (Silver), Sockeye (Red), Pink (Humpy), and Chum (Dog). Each species offers a unique fishing experience, with variations in size, fight, and taste. The Puget Sound region is particularly famous for its salmon runs. For freshwater enthusiasts, Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass are abundant in Washington's lakes and rivers. These aggressive predators are known for their explosive strikes and powerful fights, making them a favorite among sport fishermen. Lastly, Walleye fishing is gaining popularity in Eastern Washington's reservoirs like Lake Roosevelt and Potholes Reservoir. These fish are prized for their delicious taste and can grow to impressive sizes.

Popular counties to fish in Washington

Washington State is a haven for anglers. One of the most popular counties to cast a line is Chelan County. Nestled in the North Cascades, it's home to Lake Chelan and numerous smaller lakes and rivers, offering opportunities to catch trout, salmon, and bass. Pierce County is another top choice for fishing enthusiasts. Its crown jewel, Puyallup River, is renowned for its salmon runs. Anglers can expect to reel in Chinook, Coho, and Pink Salmon during different seasons. Grays Harbor County on the Pacific Coast offers exceptional saltwater fishing. The county's namesake, Grays Harbor Bay, is a hotspot for halibut and Dungeness crab. The Chehalis River running through the county provides ample opportunities for steelhead and salmon fishing. In Eastern Washington, Stevens County offers numerous lakes filled with rainbow trout, largemouth bass, and northern pike. The Columbia River that forms its southern border also provides excellent walleye and sturgeon fishing. Remember each county has specific regulations regarding seasons, catch limits, and gear restrictions which are crucial to adhere to for sustainable fishing practices. Always check the Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife website or consult local bait shops before heading out on your adventure.

Popular fishing methods in Washington

In the waters of Washington State, anglers can use a variety of fishing methods to land their catch. One popular approach is fly fishing, especially in the Yakima River, where Rainbow and Cutthroat Trout abound. Fly fishing requires a specialized rod and artificial flies that mimic insects, making it an exciting challenge for those who enjoy honing their skills. Another common method is trolling, often used in the Puget Sound for catching salmon and halibut. Trolling involves trailing a lure or baited line from a moving boat, attracting fish with the motion. For those who prefer freshwater lakes and ponds, baitcasting is a versatile method effective for catching bass in places like Lake Washington. This technique uses a weighted lure or bait to increase casting distance. Lastly, ice fishing is popular during winter months at frozen-over lakes such as Fish Lake in Leavenworth. Anglers drill holes through the ice and drop in their lines, targeting species like perch and trout.
