Come FISH with me, we do LAKE HOPPIN' right! I travel from lake to lake (and sometimes even that big lake called the ocean), fishing for ALL types of fish. From fresh to salt water and everything in between! Join me on my fishing expeditions to see how a real Lake Hopper does it. You might even learn a thing or two! Like which fish species live in each body of water I am fishing to insider tricks of the trade. So come on and join the LAKE HOPPER fishing FAMILY!!!!
@reelingintheoutdoors1612 NiCE!!! Yeah you were great and helpful for sure. Thanks for submitting much appreciated and see you out there ...tight lines bro...
@VictorIosifidi yea there still some kings in there. You'll be lucky to catch a few good ones this time of the season. It's almost time for the b run. Alot of bigger silvers should be coming in real soon.
Nice. I think I still prefer my boat or kayak. I can’t stand up and fish for long periods anymore. Old age is brutal 😂. Another good video. Catch up with you later brother.
@@tonyding4715 I wasn't using bait. Just 3 beads and #2 barbless hooks. 2 arm lengths of liter line. 17lb flour main line and 15lb liter line. 3/4 oz cannon ball sinker
@wonksagging5095 this is across from the soccer field on river road in Puyallup. Between the soccer field and smoke shop. You park and gota cross the highway to get to the river. You'll see alot of cars there. Just follow all the anglers
@dddanyoynabbb Till the end of the month I believe but don't quote me on it. I would check the regs to be sure. All I know it's only Open to fish on wed,Thurs,Fri and Saturday.
@@krazyieboikb Thanks for the info. Im from Cali and they closed salmon fishing here for a few years now. Last year I fished the Green river while visiting seattle and fid pretty good.
@@dddanyoynabbbthat's what's up. It sucks when they close it like that. But welcome to PNW and hope you enjoying the fishing before the season is over. Still got 2 more Mos. If you still around Halla at us. We'll show you some spots.
@@ronnietoomey-uh3lwnot necessarily bait since we flossing. They just for decoration on the hook since by rules and regs we are not allow to use bare hooks. It must have something with it.
Man i use to be able to fish for salmon back in the day when I was mobile! Only a know a few spots that is easy access but usually packed with people! Fish on brother! Yeah Son, That's How It's Done!
@PavlusAdventures oh he'll yeah sounds FUN!! It's nice to meet ya and tell Archie I said whats up. That's a stand up guy right there. He let me stay at his place when I had no where else to go. Love that guy!! What part of WA you from? Mayb we can link up and fish sometime.
@@NWLAKEHOPPER hey that’s awesome. Yea he’s a cool guy. I’m near Seattle. Yea. What kind of fishing are you doing right now? I just got done sockeye fishing, starting white fishing at banks lake. I need to get into bass fishing. I’m bad at it.
@PavlusAdventures Bass is on fire at Steilacom lake..lots of small fish but I did managed to catch a 5lb smallest on a drop shot with a 8lb line. So much FUN!! They shouldn't be difficult at this time of year
the kokanee in this lake bites really well on the southeast part of the lake, there's a spring there. you can troll around that corner there, or just cast out. They bite like crazy over there.
Any lakes on the west side that you've had success with kokes at? Ive been to clear a million times (almost certain there is no kokes in there) American has been super slow. Any place you'd recommend? Had a few in Alder, but it was too low to launch last I saw. Thank you!
@daltonstetz6809 Summit Lake in west Olympia is probably best for kokes..you will have to go through a bunch of trout before you get kokes. Great lake for sure but size of kokes is typical 12 inches at best. Lake Meridian in Kent is another good Lake for kokes. Hope that help my friend.
Was here a month ago, wind starter getting dangerous and almost didn't make it back to the launch...it was wild, probably the most scared I've been kayak fishing on a lake with the wind and waves. Got there at 7am...then about 9am the wind went from 0-20mph in no time.
@ninjarider84 oh wow that's crazy. I am glad you made it out safely. I was having trouble with recreational boats running to close to my kayak but not so much with wind and such. Especially in American lake, I had a wake boat that was flying 10 ft away from me. Almost capsize me and the boat operator just look at me and didn't seem to care at all.
Spring time there in the top 20ft water column summer any wear from 40 to 70 ft deep are a cold water fish so as water warms the deeper they go as summer goes on
Dude! Great watch! Glad you were able to retrieve your rod! It was fun to watch you get it back and was cool to see you still hooked the fish. I fish there as well mid September just trolling cranks for crappie I’ll have to hit up in November like you and drop shot them like you did. Anyways tight lines!
Thanks for the video. I live nearby and was thinking of trying that lake for Kokanee. March lake wasn't so kind to me the last time I went, so I think I'll try Summit soon.
@Stittsy1963 your most welcome I am glad you enjoyed the video...hopefully you subscribed for more videos to come. Welcome to the Lake Hopper Family!!!
I’ve fished that lake a lot, and there are Kokanee in it. However I’ve never come away with more than one in a trip. Couple years ago I was there for the opener and there was a WDFW fish checker at the ramp surveying folks as they came off the lake. He hadn’t seen a single Kokanee come out all morning. Honestly I think it’s more poor management by WDFW. I think they’re over stocking trout. With all the trout being stocked as catchable size, and Kokanee being stocked as fry, the Kokanee don’t have a chance since the trout compete with them for food sources. You can chum that lake tho. So maybe chumming and jigging could be a more effective tactic.
@jessetharp6319 wow...yeah I don't think stocking the lake with fry will work. I'm sure they get eaten by the Bass,trout and yellow perch. Now it makes sense that I don't see any fish that resemble a kokanee at thermo cline. Thanks so much for sharing.
Catching up on all the videos i missed from all you guys! I'm on week 6 of no fishing but will be back on the lake this week! We are all moved in and I'm ready to hit the drink!!! Tight lines and fish on! Yeah Son, That's How It's Done!
Family has limited quickly 2hrs every time...they want worms and spinner action. The 14" preferred longer leaders and 50' to bottom on the scan. The 1st year fish hang out 25-45' just under the thermocline. We and the locals have never seen Kokanee as the Bass have eliminated the planters. Angle lake has a variety of age class Kokanee and trout but the ramp is hard on PDL carts and must beat the park folks for a close spot. Tight lines...
@@aquanaut250DD Thank you for the great information. I appreciate your comment and advice. Angle Lake is way too noisy for me...lol.Airplanes is always departing and landing every 5 minutes seems like. Tight lines and Fish On!!
Thank you for the video. I've been wanting somebody to do a video on summit lake for Kokanee. I had fished summit Lake 3 times last Summer for Kokanee and did not catch any Kokanee. Of course, I was just learning how then. But it did discourage me to go back this year. There are only a three lakes in the area where I live that have Kokanee, summit Lake, Mason Lake and Lake Cushman and Kokanee lake which is the lower Lake of Lake Cushman. When I fished summit Lake all I caught was trout.
@kengreen9233 Thank you for the comment and I am happy you enjoyed the video. I hope you catch em the next time you go back to summit lake. Take care and fish ON!!!
Thanks for the video!!! It feeds into my fishing feigning! I haven't been out on the water in 3 weeks! Just bought a house so I'm busy!!! Hopefully I make it out this week! Fish on brother!!!
@pnwtroutslayer253 well first and foremost I wanna say " CONGRATULATIONS" ON THE NEW HOME. Secondly I Thank you for the comment and lastly we need to link up again soon. It was fun fishing with you my friend. And yessss fishhhhh onnnnn
