Title: Frog Hunting?
Post by: huntingdog16 on November 01, 2013, 04:36:09 PM: I was wondering if there were any places in skagit county to do frog hunting? I live in Burlington to be exact and was wondering if anyone knew of any lakes around here such as beaver, big lake, or clear lake that might hold good populations of frogs to catch. Any help is appreciated Thankyou!!

Good luck, they are tasty buggers though.

I was seeing lots of frogs this year (different river system--on the coast), and they seemed to like to be where the river slowed down and flattened out with bogs and beaver ponds on the sides. They weren't huge, kind of looked like leopard frogs.
