2015 Burbot and Walleye fishing

yjguideservice Fishing Comments Off

The fishing for Burbot has been slower than in years past but we are still catching them. On the other hand the Walleye fishing has been the best I have seen in years for this time of year. The numbers of Walleye being caught have been from 20-50 a trip not a bad day of fishing if I say so myself. If anyone wants to try and catch some Burbot and put some Walleye in the freezer get ahold of us before its all over this winter..

We we had two client Curt and Joanne down to Lyons Ferry for some early spring Cat fishing on the Palouse River. We fished outside the Palouse as well as up the river. Water temp was 50 degrees and weather was 70’s. We caught 20 cats with the biggest being a little over 8lbs. If you have never fished for these fun fighting and great eating fish get ahold of me. Thanks Curt and Joanne for 2 days of great conversation and fishing. Heres a pic of the morning catch. Good fishing everyone.


Lyons Ferry Channel Cat fishing trip

yjguideservice Fishing Comments Off

We we had our first channel cat clients of the year, so we headed to Lyons Ferry for some Cat fishing. When we got there the weather was 60 degrees and sunny. The fishing started out fast and furious in the morning and tappered off as the day went on. We fished all our  normal spot on the river catching fish in all but one spot. The biggest fish of the weekend was over 9lbs. The weather the next day was windy and cold with water temps dropping over 5 degrees.  We also hooked a 7-8ft Sturgeon on the light tackle we use for cats. Unfortunetly after an hour and 15  minute fight the line finally broke, oh well it was fun anyways. The fishing there is only going to get better as the spring progress’s. If anyone wants to book one of these fun trips get ahold of me soon. Good fishing everyone.


Winter Time Fishing on Lake Roosevelt

yjguideservice Fishing Comments Off

Well there is snow on the ground and the air temp is cold but that doesn’t mean its not a great time to be on the water. Winter time fishing we catch Rainbow Trout, Walleye, and Burbot. The Burbot fishing this past Jan and Feb was just awesome. We fish Burbot from Nov-March. The Burbot are some of the best eating fish around, even better than Walleye. We normally catch Rainbow Trout from Oct- March. The Rainbows fight hard and range from 2-5lbs. We really start fishing Walleye hard in the middle of Feb and fish them till the middle of June. The Walleye range from 16″ to over 30″. When everyone else is putting their boats away  in the fall ours never get put away, they just get to rest a little lol. So when you are having the winter time blues and want something to do in the winter, give us a call and we’ll let you expierence the joy of winter time fishing on Lake Roosevelt. Good fishing everyone


Burbot Fishing on Lake Roosevelt

yjguideservice Fishing Comments Off

If anyone has ever eaten Burbot (Ling Cod) you know how good these fish taste. People say it tastes like Lobster and I will have to agree. We have been catching these fish in big numbers lately 30-50 fish a trip. Unfortunetly the limit is only 5 fish per person, but you can catch as many as you want till you get the bigger ones. The bigger fish are 6-8lbs. If anyone wants to catch these hard fighting fish then winter time is the time to catch them. Its cold in the winter but some of the best fishing happens this time of year. Good fishing everyone..


Newman Lake Tiger Muskie Trip

yjguideservice Fishing Comments Off

Had the chance to go fish Newman Lake with a couple of my clients for Tigers. The weather was in the low 80’s and water temp right at 70 degrees. We fished for about an hour when I caught an approx 30″ fish  in about 8 ft of water, when all of a sudden my client said I got one too. We had 2 fish on at the same time. I handed my pole to his buddy so I could net the fish. His fish ended up going 40″ and was his first Tiger Muskie. After that action we fished for another 2 hours for one fish at or around 30″ again. After a hard day of fishing and only one of us not catching a Tiger, my other client who had not caught a fish all day finally hooked up on a nice 32″ Muskie right at the end of the day. All in all 5 Tigers boated in one day is a awesome day no matter what.


Channel Cats and Sturgeon fishing June 22nd

yjguideservice Fishing Comments Off
We decided to try out a new area for Channel Cats this past weekend, so we headed down to Lyons Ferry to meet up with Mike an old buddy from school. When we got there the wind was blowing 50 mph and raining so we didnt fish the first night. We got up the next morning with Mike and headed to an area known to hold cats. We werent there more than 5 minutes when we boated the first fish of the morning… a nice 6-7lb fish. The fishing continued like that with fish in the 5-9lb range for a couple hours. The weather right after that changed for the worse again and the fishing went down hill from there. We tried for Sturgeon but was unable to connect on any but did catch another Channel Cat fishing for Sturgeon on Sunday. This is an area I think we will be fishing alot more, there are some really nice big Channel Cats and Sturgeon in that area. We did see a couple that had caught 2 keep Sturgeon out of a hole we had fished right before that LOL oh well thats the breaks.

Diamond Lake Bass

yjguideservice Fishing Comments Off

Well Eloika Lake is weeded out so its time to concentrate on Diamond Lake. We have been fishing even though the weather has been windy and rainy lately. Sat we limited on Rainbow Trout in about an hour so we regrouped and concentrated on the Smallmouth and Largemouth Bass. After casting crankbaits and plastics we ended up catching approx 20 bass in a few hours. This lake is very high right now and there is a no wake right now. The water clarity  and structure in this lake makes it a awesome Bass lake. The size of fish in this lake arent as big as Eloika Lake but there are still fish in the 5lb range. Sunday we fished it for 5 hours and caught approx 30 fish in all, a mix of Smalleys, Largeys, Rainbows and Brown Trout. If you want to catch multiple species in one day then contact us so we can get you out on the lake….
