Summit Lake

Summit Lake 7-22-18
My son Bo and I traveled to Summit Lake mainly because I knew that pleasurer boaters didn’t come out until at least 9am but I was wrong it was 11am which is when we quit.
We started fishing close to 7:30am and there were only a few people trolling. It was the start of more than a week of mid 80’s to above 90’s sunshine. The water was 72 degrees so it will rise with those temperatures.
It was windy most of the time which made it hard to tell if we had bites due to the chop on the surface of the lake.
The fish finder showed consistent fish between 30-40 feet. My Water Wolf camera also showed that.
All fish we caught were kept with damage done to their tender jaws and eyes. All fish were about 6-8 inches. All fish, but 2, that I saw on the camera were the same size. Maybe even smaller since I think they couldn’t open their mouths wide enough to bite the hook. This lake use to have a healthy supply of trout. I knew it lost its kokanee for a few years but I didn’t know about the trout. I did c&r a little trout. When I came home I looked at the plants of trout on the WDFW site. Only 2750.
