Not in the Thomson Lakes' Randy, spinners or smelt to catch them freshwater sharks.
Randy. Yep, although when I go up to a lake I usually canoe out and throw spinners and such cause if Im at a lake its all about the meat haul. Rivers and streams are for fly fishing...which is the funnest way to do it and I love trout. Lakes in this neck of the woods means pike, perch and bass which is cool to.

I love fly fishing on small streams, my Dad taught me that it is the purest type of fishing.
I fling great wads of tackle into the ocean here, sometimes I get it back. There are big ugly fish just off the rocks.

metals406. spot on about the Thom. lake chain. Now if they'd let us use live bait up there...
Whats the eta on our handles? I've got a 440 (Sam, you might know the one) that is getting damn near wore through on the oiler cap side. Got maybe another 2 months before its flopping around.

I think we got a 440 all done up and ready to go at the shop? Shoot me a PM if you want it.
Randy: and by big ugly fish I assume you mean big ugly tasty fish!
It sucks around here right now cause the water levels are so high that even the lakes are "blown out". Pretty crazy year for snow and runoff. Of course I broke a bunch of toes and fingers last fall and wasn't able to hunt, ski, snowmo etc... went ice-fishing a bit...just enough to let me know that its boring and it sucks. Now i'm just jonesing to cut trees and catch fish. sound like a good way to spend a summer. especially if I can coerce Sam and his wife to come up now and again. Great people (as you know).

I wish we could use live bait and spear. . . And dynamite. These dang Pike have done taken over!
Used to be some good trout lakes around, now they're all pike. Not that I don't like pike fishing, specially when they're 20+ pounds.
When I was a youngster, the neighbor used to pull 5+ pound trout out'a Middle Thomson all day long.

Yep, big ugly and tasty. I love blackened Snapper, baked Ling is right up there, Cabazones are great with loads of butter and garlic.
Few things beat small trout fried in bacon grease, with a cornmeal batter, I eat them whole.

YUM! Can't say I've nibbled on them other critters, but there ain't nothing tastier than camp cooked Brook Trout!
Dad used to gut'em real quick, and stick a sharpened willow up their poop shoot and hang'em over the campfire. Bout the time their skin curled away from the meat, they were ready to eat. A little butter and salt and pepper. Ewww Doggy!!

The Eel River has Sacramanto Squawfish in it, they eat everything, the young Steelhead and Salmon seem to be it's favorite.
I just had navy bean soup and hard boiled eggs for lunch, good thing I work alone.

I need to invite you chefs to Huckleberry Camp. We usually rough it with hotdogs, chips, beers, wine, cookies and depending on the weather, huckleberry pancakes, sausage, or bacon in the morning.
I like my old Coleman Stove for making coffee, and one morning set the table on fire with it. Unfortunately, nobody was up to enjoy the spectacle. I felt it could have been a Pat McManus moment had it not been too early for the others.
We don't do Cowboy Coffee. I bring my camping espresso maker and I make lattes. After all, we are in Western WA!
Huckleberry Camp is our girl version of Elk Camp. We slay berries.
I'll start scouting in July. Last year sucked and we didn't have the campout.
Question: We've been doing this since the mid 1980s. As we've aged, we have switched from ratty tents, to nice tents and now we are getting trailers and pickup campers. Is this a normal succession?
We'll no longer have the stories about getting stuck in the Subaru because the child locks were on and really having to get out. Or tent dancing...switching the location of one's tent over and over because it keeps getting on rocks. Hmmmm. I still have my tent.
