Anyone out there thinking about fishing baker lake this saturday for sockeye????? Or know how it is going be?
-
It is gonna be a zoo. :bash:
But I'll be there.
-
Never done the sockeye fishery at baker before, but was considering it. Is there a lot of trailer parking?
-
I will wait until mon or tues. It will be crazy up there.
-
Well since someone had to say something ...their is more freakin sockeye in the river system than known to man BUT it seems to be our state is so freakin stupid to let a whiteman catch a fish ..and I am in no means picking on the tribes .. they flat out cought the sheet out of them .....Does it make sense for them not to open the river FOR JUST A COUPLE DAYS SO A PERSON COULD put a couple on the BBQ ..hell no they cant but we bought a license so why not !!! someone please tell me the problem here ....after all these fish are going to DIE so why not feed a few people ....Man this sheet fires me off !!! but lets open up a lake where everyone can run each other over with boats and combat fish all day ...HOW IN THE HECK CAN THIS BE FUN ?? A couple sticks of dynamite and everyone can have some :chuckle: :chuckle: :yeah:

I think that there are a total of 107 spots from the dam to Swift Creek and more at Shannon Creek, which are only open to registered campers this year. At the Holiday Sports Sockeye class, it was stressed that there will be heavy ticketing of rig/trailers parked on roads when the lot gets full.
-
They had a huge oil spill in the lake and there was a massive die-off. All the fish are gone. But I'm already going so I'll just cruise around and maybe scoop up some oil for my saw and such.

cause we can't share the same frickin space with the native netters and we suppose to buy our sockeye at the supermarket first. Them cluster censer-ed fisheries are a joke but atleast they're great revenue makers for the state!! :chuckle: :dunno:
hope it's open long enough to go one day during the week

K I am heading on tuesday and Wednesday out to baker lake. Any ideas on what will be used and what part of the lake will be the best part to fish. Also my buddy has a pontoon boat and is curious about how he would do out there with it??
-
Don't forget to buy your Discover Pass. There might be a few tickets handed out.

I am not sure but i dont think ya need a Discover Pass for national parks
-
Just to clarify, Baker Lake is within a National Rec Area not a Nat Park. Yeah, kinda splitting hairs, I know.
-
I dont think the discover pass covers National forest or rec lands, just STATE parks, rec and DNR lands. :dunno: might need a different pass to cover the National stuff :bash: :dunno:

Well how is it going up there.
-
caught 3 today, it was slower then last year so far, but that place was a zoo today which didnt help :bash: my other buddy had 3 people in his boat and they limited not bad of fishing if you know what your doing, but talked to a guy at the launch who said that we were one of the first boats he had seen come in with that many fish he said most people were coming in with nothing or just 1 fish. how did the rest of you do?
-
2 :(
-
But thankful for 2. :)
-
Does it usually chill out on the weekdays or is it always a zoo
-
what is everyone using??? I am heading up tomorrow and am going to hope for the best.
