Welcome Michael,
I am certain you are not the only one with this problem. Wood and rocks on the bottom easily snag many hooks. The thing I tell new anglers is to stay away from real woody bottoms at first. You will get a feel for it with a little practice. Maybe use a lighter lure. A single barbless hook will also help. If you do get snagged, try walking the shore and wriggling it loose from different angles. There is also bobber and fly technique. I once made my younger brother swim for a lure he got stuck (our last one). He learned rather quickly… ~Dave”I too plan on attending the Seattle meeting. This should concern anyone that has fished some of the gems that lie within the park. Hope to see others there too. -Dave
Not alot of surface activity. Almost a full moon. Only consistant bite was real early and real late. No whitecaps and no skeeters! Wet line show.
” Thanks for the cool information everyone! Those identification pics are great Brian. I have to say that so far, I have liked red meated CT more than white. But apparently there are some lakes where red is not so good. This will require extensive field study 🙂 I have not eaten alot of brookies, I remember them being all white, does this apply to them too? ^^ I just returned from three days at Lenice. Arm is sore. Still have not caught a damn tiger trout yet! The rainbow have alot of fight in em right now. ^^ Once again thanks for the illumination.^^ -Dave”
“Brian, ^^ That certainly takes occams razor to our milage and elevation gain. My buddy remembers that road as being rough but it beats walking. He also says I should kiss your rear for the advice. Im just gonna stick with Thanks! “
” I bet Bench has some open water, but I am certain that woods is covered. Two years ago in mid August, Woods had only a 30ft ring of melt with huge logs laying in the middle of the lake(on ice).^^ Does anyone know of the condition of the log crossing after 6 mile? I think I’ve had my fill of Bench, thousands of 10 inch cutts. The few we pulled out of Woods were scrappy and around 14 in. Didn’t go to slim I’m sorry to say. “
