5/10/2008 2:13:00 PMBigBrown69: You call a 15" trout "bait?" I'd like to see a picture of something you call a fish...get some pictures up here of your large fish you're catching...lol...tight lines, KTK

5/10/2008 4:03:00 PMI posted one from Pine last week remember....you said "nice fish" Go to forums under freshwater fishing, fishing pics if you want to see more big fish. Plus I'm just giving you a hard time. Whats most important is your having fun. I just don't take pics of average fish. But thats just me. I think its great that you c&r all your fish and that you post regularly. Tight Lines

5/10/2008 8:35:00 PMDidn't see you out there on Pine today -- missed ya man. FM was having a rough day, we gave him a fly but it was still slow for him. My buddy hooked up at least 20 fish on an olive leech size 10. I caught about 10, but I was using a thin mint instead. Oh well, maybe next time. All small today 9-12"

5/11/2008 6:35:00 PMQuick question:
I am headed to rattlesnake lake in two weekends. Based on comments I have read are there bait restrictions on this lake? I checked the fishing guide and didnt find anything there. Also we are looking at bringing a canoe, however if there are a ton of motor boats then we will fish from shore. Advice?

5/11/2008 8:07:00 PMNo motorboats and in fishing guide you will see it states selective gear rules. Which means, unscented artificial flies or lures with one single point barbless hook only !! Bait is prohibited and fish may be released until daily limit is retained. Also, only knotless nets may be used. Have fun, there are some nice sized triploids in there too. Tight lines

5/11/2008 8:41:00 PMI echo the comments of BB69. Remember no knotted nets. This is something I see too often now up there...no biggie, just remember that. Also, the park will close promptly, but they make a last warning call before they lock you in. NO MOTORS -- only electric allowed.
btw - to ever who dumped their old battery in the lake by the launch in 3' of water...that's called illegal dumping and is in violation of an RCW and pretty hefty fine, so I'd think twice before doing that again.
RS is pinched barbs, single hook, no more than 3 flies if you go with dropper...absolutely ZERO/NO BAIT or scented lures...scented lures are NOT allowed either. It's pretty stiff, but there are larger fish in here and they come to life around 6pm.

5/12/2008 7:55:00 AMThanks for the heads up guys, its good to see people still caring about lakes and trying to take care of them. I saw the selective gear requirement but couldnt find out exactly what the definition was. Thanks again, see you in a couple of weeks!

5/15/2008 1:23:00 PMI had heard 2 guys got busted by an officer at Rattlesnake using bait this week. I'm telling you the powerbaiters better be very wary here and stay away...you will be called in if I ever see it...

5/15/2008 3:53:00 PMIt's also very good to bring along a trash bag and pick up stuff that is lying around like old shoes, old batteries, leaders/hook, powerbait jars, worm containers, etc. Cleaning up after others is a must wherever ya go! KTK
