Is there a name to the drainage below baker lake?

i wanted to take the girlfriend out to the drainage below baker lake and i can't remember if there was a name or a stocking report or anything. any help would be great. Thanks

That would be Lake Shannon.

I dont see anything for catchable trout reports

Looking at the reports a few kokes get caught there, does not sound like hot fishing though. I have never fished it

i know its not shannon, its just a drainage/seepage right below a section of the dam. you would never know its there or it had fish lol i went a few times last year and always did well. i was never alone so i was hoping to find out if it is productive before i drive a couple hours

Lake Shannon, Most of it is a huge swamp and it goes right up to the earth dam that makes Baker. It's a huge mosquito ranch.

I see it now. its the little arm that kinda hangs off the lake there?

It is depression lake and a very good fishery for both planters and holdovers.

Sooo you're talking about the little arm of Baker that's behind the dike where they dump the Sockeyes in? It looks like a nice little boat / float tube spot. Every time I've been there it's been the same level as the lake, not really sure I would call it an outflow as it doesn't go anywhere. Looks like maybe PSE had some grand designs to build something there at one point. I do know a bit of the dams history, they started to dam the lake at one point only to be forced to change focus and dam another area as water seems to run down hill....... Not really sure how that could get by a bunch of engineers but..........

just a quick update. we went here and fished for a couple hours with just a few bites, didnt see any action on the lake. i will have to try is again later in the season
