My neighbors drove past Pass Lake yesterday and said it was green and nobody fishing. I was thinking of heading up there soon so has anyone else noticed anything at Pass?
I live on the island and have mostly fished for Salmon on the beaches here. Most of my fly fishing on the island has been on the lakes for rainbows and browns. I usually went to the OP when I wanted to fish for SRC but the ferry is not all that reliable. Has any one been successful and fishing...
