Ship Creek

VERY Slow, but it was good to wet a line. Couldn't resist trying, even though I know it's early.

BIRD CREEK hot spot last weekend

fishing was hot this past weekend. there were big silvers being caught. i witness about 5 silvers looked to be like 10-13 pounds being landed. plenty of excitement for everyone. get out there and enjoy it.

  32     August 6, 2008 - 4:47am | portlyposter

Campbell Creek

Nothing going on. Too crowded. No silvers, but a number of very old very colorful kings.

Never fished before...

Last week my 10 year old son asked me to take him fishing. I really am wanting to find some trout here in town if it is possible. I hear Jewell Lake is good. Any suggestions? I still have to buy a license and try to figure out the regs...it's all pretty daunting at first glance.

  30     August 1, 2008 - 2:02pm | ross_unscripted

everyone go to ship....bird not worth it. promise.
ship creek Ais closer too for you probably. just go there.

Bad Information

I apologize for the misinformation. I was wrong.

Upstream of the forks near Piper Street, only one unbaited, single-hook, artificial lure is allowed year round.

  24     July 27, 2008 - 10:46pm | NickCline

You can use bait and treble

You can use bait and treble hooks on Campbell.

  23     July 27, 2008 - 9:34am | daelin51

Campbell

  22     July 27, 2008 - 8:07am | daelin51

Campbell Creek

Also you can olny fish at the section between C Street and Dimond Blv

  21     July 27, 2008 - 6:49am | jfure

Campbell Creek

Spent a few hours at Campbell Creek (on the open section between Dimond and C Street). The water is high and muddy. The only person I talked to who caught anything was a group of kids at the mouth using bait. Which is illegal.
