Mike Carey with a fine speciman of Baker Lake Sockeye

8/1/2011

Mike and wife JoAnn (the great folks of WashintonLakes.com) enjoyed a fine morning one of Washington's most beautiful bodies of water. Here is a little of what Mike had to say about the trip.

"Limits at 8am, nice. I think my wife is my lucky charm because every time she decides to go with me (not often enough) we do great and she happily tells me "this was fun - it's easy catching these fish!" If only it always was that way, LOL".

"Lessons of the day for Baker lake: #1, don't be afraid to go away from the crowd. There are now a lot of fish in the lake and this far end has fish everywhere, even in the middle. #2, what a great fishery if you don't have a DR. 30-50 pulls on a Deep Six puts you right into the fish. How easy is that? I hope this fishery keeps holding up, I'm looking forward to at least one more trip". :-)
