Locating Wary Fish & Making Them Bite

[@BennettBuilt-yu2gw]

Took the kids out there Sunday. Surface temps around 52 degrees and we tried everything as well. We ended up hooking up fast just top lining 80ft back with dodger/fly and worm/berkley maggots. Some big schools of kokanee and perch in the water column but they just wouldnt bite anything! Tight lines.

[@Northwestfishingfanatics]

Nice. I always struggle to catch Kokanee this time of year in that lake. Thanks for watching.

[@keithwicks6828]

Thanks for the great content Gene. I look at you place every time I'm dont there drifting by.

[@Northwestfishingfanatics]

@@keithwicks6828 You're welcome. Maybe you'll catch one on your way by. 😆

[@dean3471]

Happy New Year Gene…… Thanks for another great fishing adventure as I’m sitting here in Utah watching the snow.

@@rogermezenen959 thanks

[@JNOutdoors23]

Haven’t fished that lake in years. Nice to see you catch them 👍.

[@Northwestfishingfanatics]

@@JNOutdoors23 I just started fishing it again last year. Thanks for watching.

[@moretime2fish]

Love watching your videos! Obviously you LOVE to fish the same I do. And I agree your statement: all those flashers catch more "fishermen" than fish. Haha!!

[@Northwestfishingfanatics]

It's a blast! Thanks for watching.

[@moretime2fish]

@@Northwestfishingfanatics I'm afraid to say how many flashers have caught me.🤣

[@gariott8681]

Trying keeping your pole down when they start jumping like that. Less likely to loose the fish. I had to learn the hard way with a 5LB. Trout. Would’ve been a nice PB moment! Keep on fish’n 🫡✊🏼

[@Northwestfishingfanatics]

Thanks for the tips!

[@ThatPNWGuy2024]

Come fish Ward lake in Lacey. It’s a small 66 acre lake in town but it goes to 65ft deep and has nice Kokanee and rainbow. 19” hogs.

[@Northwestfishingfanatics]

I've heard good things about that lake. Thanks for the tip.

[@raysoucy3160]

Where is the lake , you are fishing in washington state? Thank you!

[@Northwestfishingfanatics]

@@raysoucy3160 American. Yes, Washington.

Good as it gets must have already limited

[@Northwestfishingfanatics]

@@daviddarrell1557 haha, funny you remember that. 🤣

[@johnoliver4418]

If you ever set up a subscriber fishing trip that would be awesome even if it’s just from the bank would be super cool.

[@Northwestfishingfanatics]

I'll keep that in mind.

[@fishingwithfoxxxy1371]

Do they drain the lake or dose it come down naturally?

[@Northwestfishingfanatics]

@@fishingwithfoxxxy1371 I really don't know. I believe they were working on the ramp some time back so maybe they can drain it. ??

[@tacticalturtlevods1588]

how do you know about down rigger balls lol and clipping them on 😂

[@tacticalturtlevods1588]
