Washington Fishing

The Online Source for Washington Fishing Information

I saw that TAPPS was opened on the 2nd. Anyone fished it yet???

Tapps was 5 ft down last I check (more than enough water to fish/motor), but has anyone fished it since it supposedly opened on the 2nd?  Gates open early? 6-6:30?

I wanna go Tuesday morning early.

I went on Saturday but to my surprise there where no public launchs open. You can only launch at private ramps still looked a little sketch.

Ramps probably won't open until later in the week. i banked it last week and got 8 Muskies and a bunch of Smallies, saw a few big Smallies.

cool

As of 15 minutes ago..I stopped at North Tapps Park.  Park kid at the booth said park and launch is now open as of this morning..7/7/15. $15 to launch $100 for a season pass if you reside in Pierce County..

Game on I reckon'..

Cheers, Happy fishin'..

cool,cool,cool - thanks

Thanks for the update Todd. I purchased my pass earlier in the year and it was only $75.

Fished it today. Very quiet.  Fishing kinda poor.  Caught 2 super pale smallmouth that very pretty skinny.

The south end has 12" of visibility the north end about 24".  All my normal spots were barren.   I think all the big fish are schooling up.  I suspect most are mid lake or south.  Both of my fish were in under 10ft of water.  The other guy  I talked with got about 12 small fish between 2 people fishing mid lake.

Stick ups EVERYWHERE.  The deep areas of the lake are mostly clear, but there are about 100 new trees sticking out of the water from 5" to 10'.  They don't seem to be floating but resting on bottom.

Be careful out there!!! It was really amazing how much wood is now exposed.

Fish are super pale.  My photo doesn't quite do it justice

The couple of times i've been out on Tapps since they re-opened it was pretty wimpy. Fishing is not what it used to be before the drain. I did however catch a Largemouth approx 4 lb , but the smallies were not where i normally catch them and the few i did catch were skinny and pale.
