Report posted. Pretty good fishing our three days. Monday we had an outstanding morning. Sunday and Tuesday were fair. Such a great place to fish. Chromers and size 4-7 pounders.

Naw, everyone is waaaaaaaay off. 1,500 aint nothing, everyone needs to stay at home. It's not worth it to go until the counts get past 6 probably more like 7k. Stay at home and save yourself some gas money... :-"

If you say so...

[biggrin]

I will concede it's not red hot, but there are fish to be had.

It took me a few days to get it dailed in... But once I did I found out that Baker Lake Sockeye do in fact exist.

That weather system that moved in did bad things for the fishing I think...

It's really on now! Time to go get em. And don't pull the gear at 9:30am like I saw a lot of boats do. Our best bite was 9-10:30. The only thing that stopped it was hitting our limits. Report Posted.
