Is Northwest Fishing Reports Still An Active Website?

When I look for reports nothing comes up. I'm wondering if it's just my computer or is it no longer active?

The link in your post works for me just fine...

BUT it is now primarily a click-bait site. It just asks you install some software e.g. PDFmaker.

On what does work, it looks like almost no postings since mid-2022.

I used to occasionally go there to check recent reports but there's been 'zip' for quite awhile.

Was always good for its collection of bathymetric maps. I always recommend saving/storing elsewhere.

The maps are still accessible so that makes me wonder if the report issue is just me?
I will have to say that it has a lot of competition with all of the various Facebook groups we have today.
 
As @Tim L said, the lake maps are great. I also really liked being able to research historical reports for lakes that I hadn't fished often.
Even though most were gear reports a lot of information such as most productive times of the year, depths that fish were at, trolling speeds, etc. Oh, and best power bait color.:ROFLMAO:
Way back when it was known as Washington Lakes Fishing before evolving into NWFR.
If I remember correctly, our very own @Tom Butler used to be a fairly regular contributor in the fly fishing category before coming here.

It changed from WA Lakes to NW Fishing Reports. The owner moved from WA to Montana I believe. It used to have a lot of activity but slowly dried up.

I wasn't aware that he moved but that might explain a couple of fishing videos filmed in MT that I've seen.
I think one episode was "Flailing Flies On The Missouri". :ROFLMAO:
 
I used to visit the site, but determined a lot of the posts were either discussing blatantly illegal fishing or grossly exaggerating their success! One guy constantly reported days of catching and keeping 4 or 5 fish over 20", but the water he fished (per his posting) is one where the regs say "...no more than 2 over 20" He also claimed to have days where he caught 15 to 20 fish on Powerbait, which is another violation! Every fish caught on bait or with a scent added counts against your limit, whether retained or not! I briefly thought of contacting WDFW, but never did. You would think the moderator would have made some kind of comment about these instances, but I never saw any editorial comments to these posts. I gave up in disgust and never went back to the site.
