Siltcoos Lake fishing reports

[billfisher]

Sounds good! I live in Sweet Home now so its not a Quick trip for me. But I love that lake and Tahkenitch.

Well she was a brutally painful broad today. Marked tons of fish and lots of fish rolling but fished for 10 hours and went 1-2. Saw only 3 others caught. Felt pretty fortunate with this 29" chrome hen.

Great da today. Only place to stay out of the wind was Fiddle Cr and the fish were active
Ended up with 2 jacks and a 29" chrome hen.
All on the same plug from yesterday.

 

[rogerdodger]

So you troll that plug right? And is there any added weight, or flasher/Dodger?

We never used any added weights or flashers. Just mainline to a swivel to a leader, snap, then plug. Fishing there is ridiculously easy except for the weeds and the skunks.

Good luck,

Finished our season with a quick 2 fish limit by 9:30 today in the Fiddle Cr. Arm.
Only 4 other boats.
Had 4 other hits that didn't stick and 2 other hookups that somehow self released themselves.
All in all the fishing was hot.
Brought home this chrome 31" buck and a little darker 27" buck.
All on the same plug.
Took a drive to Maple Cr after and it was a zoo up there. Counted 27 boats inside the buoys.

sweet. that is what I was expecting this week, sounds like the dam probably opened on Tuesday, lake filled up, Fish On! Just like Eugene1 said "Fishing there is ridiculously easy"...LOL

I picked up a couple more "Wigglers", and doing a maiden Siltcoos fish manana!

 

[kwikfisher]

Hey Mike,
Or you using regular Wigglers/Warts or Magnums?
Thanks Kwikfisher

Standard size Brads Wiggler trolled 50' behind the boat at 2mph on the GPS.
If you are marking fish and don't get a hit in 2 or 3 passes change colors and do it again.
