scent and color is a non factor as it always changing. I have caught equal amount of fish on about everything I have fished there with confidence. KCP has been our best tho, but I have used every scent I own and hooked fish. Last season we went 50/50 on 4 rods with brads KCP and prawn/coon spinner
Sounds like a challenge! you troll around with a dark black KCP with no scent, and ill use everything else. Meet ya back at the dock around noon to compare each other catches :chuckle: Scent and color matter, hence why 30% of the fisherman seem to always catch 70% of the fish down there. Guides and locals always seem to find the right color/scent/lure scheme first and do well.

Yesterday was in Drano, loooots of boats in the bowl, seen a good dozen or so fish picked up in there buts it’s soo crowded it takes the fun out of it for me.

Spent today out there and it was even slower with stronger AM wind that tapered down as the sun got higher. Not much for fish though. Same old dude that caught one saturday managed to scrape up the only one we saw on the bank today. Didnt see anyone get a hit on a plug. The fish dont seem to be hitting close to the bank spot very much. Overall its pretty slow. Hoping it picks up by next weekend and the 5k fish over the dam the other day wasnt all there was for the season.

Wow, showed up there there this morn about 6:30. There was no lineup to launch, but the lake was so full you had tp take a number. Parking was 1/2 mile away, 75 years old & bad knees, I turned around & went to the wind
Yea they built that launch knowing they were short 200 parking spots - just have to dump rock and expand but won’t.

Anyone catching at Drano outside the toilet bowl. What’s the ticket?
not alot going on outside the bowl. We only picked 1 up in the lake and many people I talked to saw very few fish caught in the lake.

Both launches require that pass is my understanding.
Copy that, thanks!

Was thinking about coming down for the weekend.
Save your gas money. :twocents:
Just to add looks like they are opening the Skagit for spring chinook........... I'd rather be fishing the Skagit than Drano any day of the week. Up another :twocents:
Good luck whenever you go!

I too have been debating on going down there to toss plugs from the bank as usual, but haven't been hearing much report wise from anyone.
Waiting for good reports is a failing strategy IMO. If there’s more then 500 fish coming over the damn then there will be fish to catch. Best advice as an experienced local is just go.

Was down there this last weekend, first night fished Drano in the evening and there was a decent bite in the bowl. Saw about 10 fish landed between 1800-1930. Second day fished the Wind all day and fishing was hot.....temperature wise, i think it peaked out at 85 degrees. Never saw a fish caught in 7ish hours, but the temperature/wind/and rough water didn't help. At one point only 7 boats were out there fishing. Never seen so many few boats in spring season.
The lack of people fishing this season has been great!
