Western Washington BASS fishing is an emerging fishery. We have big Smallmouth bass in Washington State.
It is not uncommon to hook into a 4 – 5lb Smallmouth BASS. We fish select lakes in western Washington for both largemouth and smallmouth bass. In fact, Washington state has some trophy smallmouth bass in comparison to many areas around the country.
