    Another crappie score!

    The spicy Japanese rice crackers (“Kaki no Tani”) can take this same concept and take it next level or two higher. Replace the Cheetos with this.

    Time to look up the crawdad regs? Used to notice the rare and occasional trap on one or two lakes I’ve fished.

    Is this the trick where you tie the bowline and then swing it around over your head?

    Where your grocery store salmon originates

    I think that most folk in the PNW are fairly salmon savvy, though I shouldn’t take myself as an example. I’ve had work experience processing salmon in Alaska and also worked for NOAA on their research ships. Since I do a lot of cooking at home, I picky about the fish I buy. So probably not...

    Rattlesnake Lake

    Somewhat productive but not as much as many other lakes you could otherwise go to.

    Rattlesnake Lake

    Which trout would you prefer to eat

    A Baker Lake Kokanee comes to mind. Somehow got lucky catching one out a school that came up out of the gin clear water to take my lure. Quite tasty.

    Martha

    Good on you! Were you and Amazon tube dude into the trout or warm water feesh? I already gave up on Martha, due to the temps of most lowland lakes. It’s a deep lake, so maybe it hasn’t gone too warm yet.
