I have a ton of fishing video from slow days.. I decided to crank one out here from our outing this past Sunday..
short and sweet.. easy on the ears..

this is what i think too.. we trolled the whole lake, all of the shore line and the middle sections and barely spotted fish on the sonar. i know it slows down this time of yr, but i also know a ton of people fish the lake when its stocked..racfish wrote:Beaver Lake has been pretty much wiped out of fish. The state does big trout plants there. When they plant everybody fishes the lake keeping everything that hits. I think that overfishing has hurt the lake.
thinking on this.. what are the chances you could spot one fish at the hatchery, tag it somehow, feed it some pellets to help fattin it up.. then catch that very same fish in beaver later? stranger things have happened... that would be pretty dang cool. again.. maybe..Gringo Pescador wrote:Want to see the trips that will go into Beaver next, hit the Issaquah hatchery for Salmon days (you can even feed em a dixie cup full of pellets for $1).
i have never heard of kokanee in there.. but trust me, if i had spotted any numbers of fish in one location i would have tried everything i had.. as stated earlier, barely any fish spotted on the ol sonar.. and i covered most of the lake, including the north end multiple timesG-Man wrote:Try dragging some kokanee gear deep in the north section of the lake. Seems everyone is after the stocked trips and resident bass, only a few ever target the kokes.
i was tautned today fly fishing after work, by what appeared to be at least a 14+ rainbow in the sammamish, i had the cam going the whole time cuz i was sure the very next cast, maybe, just maybe was going to be the one.. bam! nothing.. this fish and about 20 others of much smaller size taunted me for a solid 2 hours, what with all their rising and splashing about.. aargh (shakes fist) i'll get you tomorrow morning maybe, just maybe if i can get up early before workknotabassturd wrote:Nice video oneshot!
