Blue Lake Sinleheken
« on: May 12, 2009, 10:21:17 AM »
Leaving Wednesday for Conc area...specifically Blue Lake. Has anyone been fishing Blue? Last three years in a row were the first hot weekends of the year and the snow melt flooded everything and turned the fishing OFF! Hoping for some milder weather to go sit in the tube and twitch the chrono's.....

Anyone been up there? Any sizes / colors hotter than others?

The weathers been real nice up there I have heard. I also heard that the fishing has been great. If ya run into a Dept of Fish and Game guy named Justin with a big beard...tell him hi, he's my buddy from high school, one of the nicest guys you'll meet.

Good luck, looking forward to some pics...

Troll a big leech with a bead head, darker the pattern the murkier the water for some fresh ones that aren't spawning.  I've caught a couple leviathons doing that.   Haven't been there yet this spring.  I was seriously thinking about it though.  Its just a long drive.

I wondered about that.  There is some absolute muley country around there.  My inlaws have a house on Wannacut.

(are we talking the same blue lake, or is there another one closer to Conc.....)

Lahontans should be done by now though.

I used to go to Lenore several times every year, that was a kick. I seem to remember them starting in mid to late March and being done by the end of April, I'm getting older though :rolleyes:

yep...really.

the only place i've ever seen them or caught them is at lenore. there's a little stream that flows into the lake that the fish stack up in every spring...they do everything except lay eggs. they turn color, make redds. etc. everythign except the eggs.
