Fish identification help. I’ve been discussing a particular westside lake with a friend recently which reminded me of some interesting fish I’d caught there nearly 8 years ago. The two fish below certainly don’t look like any rainbows I’ve ever seen. They lack the throat slashes of coastal cutthroat and in any case, their spotting pattern seems quite different from any freshwater trout I’ve ever caught.

Without identifying the exact name or location, the fish were caught in December 2002 at a lowland lake in the Skykomish watershed at about 1500 feet elevation. The lake has often been used as a place where the Reiter hatchery ‘dumps’ overstocked juveniles and broodstock in order to free up rearing pens for new crops of fish. The lake used to be heavily fished so perhaps WDFW figured whatever they put there wouldn’t last too long.

I’d sure appreciate your ideas about what kind of species they might be.

Thanks in advance,

Bass fishing on my kayak. I  went east to chase some warm water fish and landed a lot of scrappy bass and bluegill and weather was great till the last hour or so. my first attempt at a frog was on fire today. i also got a frog and that did well as well.

I spent most of his time picking flies out of willow branches, walking laps around the pond, punctuated by brief casts, yet actually catching bass and bluegills.

Peddler successfully matched the ‘white sulphur’ hatch…which is interesting since I’ve never seen anything remotely resembling that fly flying around; ‘Crawler kept mumbling, “Red San Juan…Red San Juan,” as he circumvented the pond.

The advantage of fishing before the crowd arrives:

Matching the ‘hatch’.

Get a room!

My daughter lost one very large bass after several jumps but caught another of a good size on the huge popper several casts later. She’d never caught a largemouth before, though she had caught a number of smallmouths up north. My daughter was throwing the 8 wt remarkably well especially considering the high winds and the fact that she only uses a rod for a couple days a year at best. I’m hoping the winds die eough tonight to get her onto a striper tomorrow on beaver lake. She wouldn’t touch the bass though, hence my mug in the shot below.
