Just so you guys and girls know, it's awesome. What a gorgeous lake to be catching those gorgeous fish. Oh yeah people, there are fish away from all the boats. I got sucked into them also but caught most fish away from the others. Have fun peoples!
yeah head up here and catch some since we have had a record number and the state would rather pile all Washingtonians into one lake to combat fish ...WOW how much fun is that ... AND do you guys know that the sockeye in L.K wASHINGTON COME FROM BAKER LAKE ... HOW SWEEEET IS THAT BUT NO They can not open the skagit river when they are thick as humpies ....30,000 sockeye have been threw the baker river since the new trap was built .... HUH ..... But lets not catch them in the river and let people enjoy the resource .....BUT BE SURE TO ALWAYS BUY A FISHING LICENSE
Well since I live about 20 min from Baker Lake I figured I might as well join the madness & see if I could catch some Sockeye this morning. We arrived at 5:30 & it only took us 15 min to launch & yes there was a armada of Boats out there I'm guessing 250 or so but it really wasn't a big deal at all. We ended up catching a few & losing a few & when we left at 11:30 fish were still being landed here & there.I'm hearing that they're dumping about 1,500 fish a day in the lake so there's plenty of Sockeye to be had. That being said I'm assuming if you launch around 4-4:30 it's probably going to be a cluster #*%^.

Thanks for the help 50Cal, apparently I would have had better luck asking for GPS coordinates to someones duck blind? I did get on the water. BTW, nice bull in your avatar, is that a Nooksack bull?
