It's trout season! I cover three online resources to help trout anglers find big and/or plentiful early season trout. Links below: wdfw.wa.gov/fi... wdfw.wa.gov/fi... wdfw.wa.gov/fi... Excelsior, Trout Believers!
Good day Blake! Love trout fishing, it's probably been my favourite overall. These are great tips, we have similar info available in BC. I'm not opposed to hatchery fish but wild is more satisfying to catch IMO. WooHoo! Summers here, finally!
I was successful at Twanoh and brought home a limit of clams, oysters and a bunch of mussels. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed the meal. Thanks again for your videos I look forward to many more trips.
Nice to see you back at it. Good resources. Looks like they dropped some brood stock in eel springs. It would be nice if they stocked other species of trout. 👍
That’s awesome, great info as always! We’re going to bump into each other one of these days, almost certainly. I fished that exact same spot with a 1/2 oz chrome kastmaster the day before on Saturday morning. Looking forward to bumping into you at some point, love the channel!
Great to see a new video (but you do you if you're not into it the channel as much - I know how much work it can be). Are you planning to head up to Lopez again this summer? We'll be up there end of August and I'm planning to snorkel / dive Iceberg Point.
Good to hear from you Ling Cod! Congratulations on your purchases! I love Lake Sylvia and Vance Creek pond (the long skinny one open for adults) gets big trout planted in. I've heard good things about lake Aberdeen but have not fished it.
My biggest complaint about western Washington lakes is the lack of shore access, the majority of them have homes built around them you need a boat and when you don't have one your stuck with the boat launch which usually full of cars and other bank anglers so there is no room. The other issue I have is that the State seems content to just plant rainbow trout when a lake needs help. Many lakes have other species such as sunfish but it's been my experience that they are stunted fish the lone exception is bass they usually are fine. I would like to see more effort by the State to improve fishing by creating more crappie fisheries they are a popular fish in the South and practically every where else they are planted . Those fish should sustain themselves without that much help, although I know of several lakes the populations have all but disappeared , I have brought this up to the State twice and both times they just brushed it off no interest. There is another lake close to my heart is Little Cranberry lake in Anacortes it's part of the city forests. The State says there are Coastal Cutthroat trout as well as Crappie, Perch and Bass and some bull head catfish. I have fished that lake for over 30 years I have never seen a Cutthroat trout taken from that lake. My friends father who is in his late 80's has said many times that the State has been claiming that Cutt's are in that lake when he was a small boy he never saw one or knew anyone who had seen one. The Crappie are all gone and he said they were once prolific big one 's ! the Blue gill someone put in there without the States approval and the Perch are all tiny just the bass seem healthy but small. Any way just putting my two cents I wish they would do more, planting trout only goes so far having a warm water fishery worth you time the State has no interest in doing anything else.
Can you do one at bears lake it’s near you like 1 hour away I bet bears camping ground its kind of in the hills or can you do titans ranger pond pls and Ty pls 😅
Hello! Yes and no. Some lakes are open the fourth weekend April thru October. Some lakes are open year round. Rivers are all over the place depending on what native species lives in 'em. Our regs book is supppppeer thick.
