4/4/2009 12:38:00 PMNo sir. It's the park fronting on the deep, western portion of the lake, on North Lake Samish Drive.

4/4/2009 1:02:00 PMI believe Lake Samish (Whatcom County) holds kokanee as well. Good to hear the lake is producing something this early, The water is still very cold. 46 degrees F at Blackman's Lake in Snohomish this morning. Thanks for the report.

4/4/2009 6:35:00 PMSamish Park is a Whatcom County Park, last October WDFW stocked 10,000 fingerling bows. I'm not sure about the lakers but I do know there are some trips in here but the real prize is the cutts with only a 2 fish limit and minimum size of 14 inches it is a great fishery although most folks target the kokes here.

4/4/2009 6:48:00 PMUnk Wes is right. It's a Whatcom county park, not a state park. My bad, and thanks for the clarification. Went back today - same friend, same bait, same spot, same depth - and we were just about skunked. Pulled in one skinny laker at the end of the afternoon. Beautiful day to sit at the lake though.

4/4/2009 10:13:00 PMHey Lucky, Could you send me a pic of your lakers I don't doubt your word but I would really like to see one. Might explain some of the larger blips on the finder.
MrLucky
4/4/2009 11:01:00 PMSorry, we didn't take pictures. I'm not much of a camera guy anyway, and I was too focussed on keeping them in the water while I got the hooks out. I'll pull out my iPhone and try to get you a pic next time though.

4/5/2009 6:53:00 AMThanks. The reason I knew that Samish was part of the county parks system is that I worked at Silver Lake which is also part of the county system for 5 years, until my position was dropped. I had the pleasure of living in the Maple Falls area for 8+ years, a wonderful community. I've only been gone for less than a year and miss it a great deal. Samish Lake was a favorite of mine and I worked it many times and have published several articles on this lake in newspapers and magazines. I plan on working the lakes in that area again sometime in June. Enjoy it, I know I did.

4/5/2009 12:19:00 PMGood job Mr Lucky. Samish can be a dead sea at times, any fish is a good fish! If you get back out, I would also like to see a picture of one of the lake trout you are catching. Like Wes, I don't doubt it, it seems like samish has a little bit of everything. good luck...
