FISHING -- Good fishing reports are coming in from far and wide. Here's the latest on Omak Lake on the Colville Indian Reservation from Anton Jones of Darrell & Dad's Guide Service:
On Omak the fish are coming off the spawn and biting like crazy! This year it appears that the bite rate is somewhat less than the previous couple of years, but drumroll… the average fish is much better. We have trolled Jeff’s drift rigs (unbaited, to be consistent with the regs), squid rigs and spoons. Fish have averaged about 20” or so. Trophy sized Cutts are always a possibility here. Dan Beardslee caught one over 18 pounds! Next to Pyramid Lake in Nevada, this may be the best Lahontan Cutthroat Trout lake in the world. Working speeds of 1.4 to 1.6 mph seemed to work best for our presentations, but vary it a lot to see what works best for you.
Fishing tip of the week: Make small changes to increase your productivity. I am loathe to change presentations, typically. With me, the changes are usually location. Sometimes, small changes in location can greatly increase catch rates. Sometimes concentrations of fish move just a few hundred feet. Think about the cover and food requirements for fish and make your adjustments accordingly. Similarly, a small change in the profile of a lure (ie: sizing up or down) can make a big difference in bite rate. Too big a change can have you come up empty or at least unable to tell which variable was important.
