No because when a fish hits, its meant to pull loose from the loop portion of the weight and start sliding down to your flasher or dodger. Gonna buy a few of these and try em out this spring for kayak fishing

Yes mostly cutthroat actually. We also pick up kokanee and salmon from time to time

That's awesome. I was watching your crappie video, thought I might want to give that a try. If you ever want to go out and hit a lake on kayak, let me know.

@gigharborfishinclub989 I have Sunday, Monday and Tuesday off so any of those days I am down. Would love to fish with ya

Ok cant make that happen this week, but what do you have over the next couple of weeks?

@@gigharborfishinclub989 I'm pretty much open atm

Do Fridays work for you?

That's awesome, when they hit, they really hit.

We had a great time, even though it was wet!

Flies can be a very effective presentation, especially towards the end of fall into the winter!

Any colors working better than others?

@@genevievewagenblast orange has been a go too color for us at lake Roosevelt the past few years. That being said, the majority of fish were picked up on only two presentations. The first, a metal head trolling fly in a black zonker! Pattern with streaks of red Mylar in the body. The whole fly is 2 inches or so. The other was a jointed glassrap trolling plug in a gold and brown gloss finish. Similar to a jointed shad rap I just think the finish is a little more glossy and iridescent. Running the both on a hybrid lead core two colors with an ounce of inline trolling weight between the line and 40” flourocarbon leader. 2.2 mph SOG

@@genevievewagenblast tried to stay around 2.2. We caught between 2-2.5. No scent on the flies or plugs. Soft plastics sometime get scent and in the early summer I like sweet corn transitioning to anise or garlic as the summer goes on. Be aware of the regs that if using natural baits OR scents fish are supposed to be retained if legal to do so so it limits catch and release opportunities if that’s your thing.

we were trolling 1.8 to 2.3, we were not using scent. Dark colors seemed to work the best, black and cop car spoons and flies

@@gigharborfishinclub989 Appreciate this very much! I have fished that spot for a while. Orange has always been my go to color there, but like you said it hasn't been as good for whatever reason this year. I usually catch on my downrigger 8-12' and 100+ feet back. I haven't had much luck with either presentation you used, so I was very interested in your approach! Thank you for sharing.

@@The_beg_jr it’s a derby lake and there are still tagged fish in the lake that get you a small gift certificate from wdfw. The public ramp is on the sw side of the lake and we haven’t fished much in the south end as it’s pretty shallow and we like to troll. The north end gets to about 25 feet and fishing can be excellent. I’ve done best trolling small plugs like kwikfish and mag lips and thin profile spoons like needlefish or trigger spoons from FishHuntShoot.com. Water temp should be consistent top to bottom since it’s shallow so the fish will likely be relating to structure more than depth. That being said 15ft or so is a good place to start if you’re gonna troll a bit. There was some osprey and otter pressure last year so that may keep them off the surface unless there’s a breeze and a chop. We haven’t fished it this year so I’m interested to hear how you do. It’s a great small lake fishery with fish into the several pounds on a good day. Let us know how you do!

@@gigharborfishinclub989 thank you

Glad you like them!

We usually start out with no flashers or dodgers. We only add one if we don't hook up trolling the presentation naked. Wiggle discs impart action to the fly or soft plastics. You can get them from Amazon.

We did see people fishing off the bank, not sure what their level of success was, but access can be hard. There were people fishing off the beach across from Two Rivers Marina and we did catch fish in that area.

No they aren’t🤣 was out there Friday with my buddy got 2 jumbos off the bridge then yesterday in my raft ended up hooking 4 landed 3 jumbos

Very nice

The launch is part of Edgewater Park in Lakewood.

Thanks @@gigharborfishinclub989

There is a concrete launch, its a little steep but manageable with my 19 foot North River

Not sure yet. We are definitely going to try and fins a time to hit the ling cod and sea bass.

If you get there early enough there is street parking up from the ramp. If not, there is street parking in and around the launch, but there would be some walking involved.

The area down by the condos, and the area in front of the VA tend to be the best for us.

I have never tried shrimp at American lake but they’re money sometimes at other lakes. If you find success with them let me know and I’ll try them next time I get out there and see what I can pull.

@@gigharborfishinclub989 I'm gonna try fishing with them next month. Figured it would be warmer by then and the water temps should have rose by then

Yeah temps are still hovering in 40s but with a bit of a warmup I’m hoping to get into the 50s soon. If you get out there let us know how the shrimp work!

@@gigharborfishinclub989 I'll deff let you know. I know down south like Arkansas and Georgia and Alabama shrimp works fairly well esp for grass carp and perch and alligator gar etc. I just wish we were able to fish with minnows up here.

@@anthonyonthegold I hear ya. Grew up fishing in SC

Yeah it’s been slow. We don’t hit that lake a lot but the fish we caught on Saturday were all decent. We don’t fish it just after stocking simply because the pressure is up and fish tend to be small. It’s a fun fishery most of the year but tough in the winter. Frankly surprised the trolled fly bite isn’t better out there right now.

Chartreuse was always a go to color for me but I’ve been tending toward pink and orange more the last year or so. Like all color and lure selections it can be a self fulfilling prophecy. I’m catching more on pink right now. Why? I fish it more often😂. Logs seem to indicate to me that all three colors work just about as well most of the time when a brighter presentation is indicated so we all tend to fish our preferences. For me it’s more about light vs dark of muted vs bright and flashy. That being said, as you know there are days or fisheries where specific colors are what they want and all they’ll hit. When you find that spot you stick with what’s working. Keeping a fishing log gives us data points to develop strategies and prove our gut feelings. Thanks for the intel on your luck with chartreuse in Sammamish. Time to break out of my pink streak!
