This report is going to be a strictly informative report.

I stopped by Log Boom Park on the way home from work just to see what it was like since the last time I went in August.

It doesn't look like the same place to be honest.
The water level was Extremely LOW.
I have never seen it this low before.
Also, there were masses of dead weeds floating on the surface scattered around.
But I didn't see any actual weeds in the water still planted to the ground.
I saw a couple people fishing at the very end of the dock and they said they were fishing for trout but had no luck.

I knew I wasn't going to catch anything but I thought I would make a few casts just for the hell of it.

I casted a wacky rigged Yum Dinger under the dock to see if there were any bass.
There was nothing.

So then I put on my Spro Frog and made casts towards the shorline over the floating weeds and around logs.
There was nothing.

I then switched to a Strike King Pro Buzz Bait and casted all over.
There was nothing.

However, I did see one pretty big Sockeye Salmon swimming around the shoreline in very shallow water.
It circled around about 5 times going under the dock and under the weeds.
Just from the looks of it, it looked to be close to 20 inches or so.

Although I don't know much about Salmon, this was unmistakably a sockeye.
I could tell because it's body was a dark red with a big brownish head.

Also saw a Nutria this time, not a beaver :)

After about 20 minutes, I started to freeze my butt off even though I had put on 2 jackets.
So I decided to hit the road.

But the point of this report, just from my brief time there, and speaking with the people fishing there, it's time to call it a year for Log Boom Park.
The water level is too low, it's very shallow year round, and it's just too cold for the fish to want to hang around.
