Anybody here still fishing Siltcoos Lake?

I can only last a few days without fishing, or at least hearing about it.

Yep...it'll fish until December. Most people should be close to tagged out long before then though.

Went today...lost two...one was shiny...one was red and black...So basically...I lost One. Running pretty small hot shots/small treble:crushed: . Was a lot warmer there than in the valley...wind made things difficult though. Heard of a few caught on Maple Arm.

I tagged out last week and now have nothing to do but twiddle my thumbs until the rivers drop back into shape. Shoulda held out on the lake fish a little longer.

Yes! The dam was open today. Almost didn't put in a 7am. There were white caps and only three rigs in the parking lot.

So I drove over the little bridge and saw that there was current in the river. Turned around and put my boat in and fished the outlet and west bank casting for awhile and didn't mark any fish.

Picked up and ran over to the maple arm cause I got one there the 10th. Trolled around the circle for a couple hours marking very few fish. So I decided to troll along the south shore and found a

lot more on the ff. Turned around and came back through and hooked into a nice bright one and lost it just as I was reaching for the net. In the next 45 min I caught one that was a little dark and released it

Then one that was red, then one that was pink. Released them and was kicking myself for releasing the darker one, but a few min. later hooked into another. It was almost chrome so I netted it and bonked it

through the net and must have cut the net cause it came half way through the net. Yikes... Luckily I got it in the boat! Best day ever in 3 years of fishing siltcoos and Tackenitch.
