Oats-
Did you graph many big fish??
Did you graph many big fish??
Do you think they have more food now or are they just not as common as they used to be? I hardly say any on my finder this winter and only a few this spring, and pretty much all of them were near the island in the lake fork arm.Oats said:The lakers were caught in the morning, but it was slow after that. Yea Blue is really a great brown trout lake and still is a great for lakers but there getting tougher to catch.
I've always noticed that lakers are way more active in stormy conditions. The one time I hit blue this year for ice, it snowed all day so I thought I was in for good fishing. Alas we landed only one 18" mack that was 2.33 pounds, on a tip up baited with a whole anchovy. I saw a few others on sonar, missed two other strikes, and lost one that felt in the 3 - 5 pound range, maybe a tad bigger.Oats said:Thats the biggest problem no other lake in this state has as much on the lake trout menu. Most of the fish I've caught over 22" at Blue have had fat belly's of kokanne or small trout. Blue's lakers are very rarely exceptionally active and when they are its usually in blizzard or pretty rough conditions.
