PIC # 1: Travis Dodrill of Hartsel has fished Eleven Mile many times. His first Pike. He targeted with waterdog on tip-up. His first tip up fish! FLAG!!! Always an adrenaline rush. Pic courtesy T. Dodrill
PIC # 2: Liked Saturday we decided to hit the North Marina because we had a friend, Dave that started ice fishing this year. My friend Tim and I wanted to get Dave on a steady bite. We overcame the gusty winds in the morning and caught over 20 stockers throughout the day. Of course they were all released. I was able to entice this nice bruiser in the afternoon. Then we hit the store afterwards and Tim purchased a new Strikemaster Auger. Thank you for your time and all the work you and your staff do! Pic courtesy K.Easter. AND THANK KEVIN YOU FROM 11 MILE MARINA!
TROUT: FAIR TO GOOD: Action has slowed for many but plenty of nice fish being iced.Stocker action at North Shore should be fun this weekend. 15 to 30 feet of water has been a consistently good depth. Stoll and points West always show promise. Rocky Flats all the way to Corral Cove has also seen fun action. We also like Lazy Boy and Howbert. Witchers Cove is to far a drive for us but if you are coming in that way Deer Island hold some really big fish and it is easy access. Duck Island holds big fish too but access is really a challenge in terms of length of hike. But if you work the rock drop offs there there are big surprise. It gets so little pressure and big fish don’t go traveling around the lake for the most part. They hold to their spots waiting on you.
We like our 11 Mile Krystal Lazers and tiny Tots. You can almost always catch a fish on one of them. It just depends on the color de jour. Orange has been coming on lately as well as greens both dark and light. If the won’t hit your jig drop down to just the bait.
KOKANEE SALMON: FAIR: We have not been able to get out that way. Friends report the same kind of action we have seen in past weeks. It’s either hot or it’s not. Fish definitely still being caught. Work big spoons, Swedish Pimple PFO in 3, 4 or 5, Krocodile in Pearl, RB and Kastmaster in CDY and RB. You need to be able to get down fast if they are deep and you are not. We like to keep a small crappie jig or sparkle tube (because we still have a stash) at about 15 feet for the high cruisers and there always seems to be a few of them. We are jigging machine folk. It doesn’t always work but when it does they are awesome. Where can you get one? Our suggestion is build one. Small windshield wiper in a box. Very basic don’t go wild. We use three strings of Pop Gear usually Green Rainbow off a 20 foot 50lb leader. Salmon fishing is more than just luck and it takes effort and practice. Book a Guide Trip and we will show you all we know.
NORTHERN PIKE: FAIR TO GOOD: The fun season continues for many. Water Dog the bait of choice. Find a spot with one big one and their is almost always a second hanging around. We have consistently seen big fish in the Marina area. They always seem to have interest but either don’t take the bait aggressively or are extremely cautious and out wait you. Make a noise move your bait watch them back off.
