[JeannaJigs]

Yeah i wouldn't fish either lake until the dams open. Waste of time. There's no fish.

Lol no fish at all. None. Zero. Nonezo.

 

[JeannaJigs]

Very soon! You will know, seems it has not opened up yet so we will still be harassing the Chinook until November sometime!

Are you sure about that.

I guess I had better get the Lily Pad ready to go. Maybe I will make a run down there Sunday and wet a line or two.

if u unload at the west loading dock, ur set.. mouth is off the the right when u leave the dock.. on windy days, the center of the lake got a bit choppy. Unless u go to the upper arms, it may take u a bit to get there from the west dock.

if you fish the westbank near the outlet, you're fine. That's about all you can do though, later in the seaon when they move up into the arms...there is no way. Unless you want to spend more than an hour getting up there. It takes 30 minutes with a 6 horse on a 12 foot lightweight aluminum mirrocraft. Right now though is a good time to fish the westbank.

You don't need a big motor, although I don't know if you want to go out on a drift boat. That lake can get really rough in a heart beat, like it did for us last year. You do need to motor across the lake to the maple arm where most of the fish will be hanging out. It'll just take you a little longer with a smaller motor.
I'll give you a call when I'm headin that way as soon as they open the dam.

Dam has been open for two days now.

I know where I'm going this weekend.

What about Tahkenitch? Is it open?

Mike, I sincerely would not waste my time fishing Tahkenitch for at least 2 weeks. The creek is a trickle, with about a foot to go before they open the dam. Soon as it's good to go tho, I'd fish Tahkenitch ANY day before Siltcoos.

Thanks for the advice. It may be a week or two before I can go anyway. Just trying to get as much info as possible until then.

I appreciate that but I have some and am going to see about picking up a few more. Unfortunately funds are far and few between. I am STILL unemployed.
