Very nice!! I love it up there, get them while you can, I hear rumors that our state is going to try and kill them off.
if you're in a boat you can fish wherever. No fishing from the bank on the reservation- which is a small portion of the reservoir.
Yea and Muskies and Pike are the same family. Why are they not complaing about those. Is it because they are not making it into the river systems?
I guess my biggest question with this whole thing is how do these fish all live together in places like Lake Michigan which has Muskies, Pike, Chinook, Coho, Smallmouth, Walleye, etc. This is a awesome fisheries for a multitude of diffrent types of Salmon. Why is Washington State an exception? Canada as well as many bodies of water back east have Pike and Muskie and their fisheries are flurishing. I cant seem to get a answer to why Washington State is so diffrent. Here are a few pics of the fish we caught last weekend. Just my thoughts on this subject. I'm a die hard Salmon fisherman as well, fishing Salmon from July through Oct so I'm not Pike bias.
Do you ever fish using deadbaits? I caught all my HUGE pike in England on deadbaits. BIG pike are more scavenger than predators. Lots and lots of studies in the UK, if you want BIG pike you rarely catch them on moving baits, they are nearly all caught using deadbaits.
Its all good Teal and all good information. The more people are educated about these fisheries the better, I think...Good fishing and hunting everyone
