1/19/2013 7:02:00 PMI'm new to WA fishing wise and fish out of a Hobie Kayak. Would it be safe for a yak out there?

1/21/2013 3:32:00 PMNo ice on the lake. We dont usually get ice because there is so much boat traffic going back and forth to the island.
Russ Carver do you have a Duckworth? the name sounds really familiar did you used to moor your boat on American Lake?
Whitten1823 there is lots of kayaks on the lake and it would be a perfect place for it lots of water to cover. There is a couple people who fish from yaks out here already.

Great job on catching the Trout!!! Gave it a shot Friday as well but was primarily trying to see if I could entice a Kok to bite. So I had one rod rigged for Koks and the other for Trout. Had a couple drive-bys but nothing more. For Trout, guess I should have been fishing closer to Bill's or Little American. I was mainly fishing the area between Silcox and the VA.

1/22/2013 3:15:00 PMKokanee_slayer were you in a white Hewes craft? I saw a couple boats out but did not know if they had any luck. I dont even waste my time fishing for kokes right now but come the end of march I will be in my boat with all the other crazies every morning. See ya out there.

1/22/2013 7:52:00 PMYep, that was me. But you know what, I caught my first "American" Kok earlier that this last year; love the challenge. I was actually marking a few on the finder and had a drive-by at about 50 ft. You are definitely nailing the Trout. I don't fish for them much anymore because once I started fishing for Koks, the wife got spoiled. Maybe we will meet up sometime. "Tight Lines"

1/23/2013 10:16:00 AMThis is the first year in probably 10 years I have fished in the winter but am kinda enjoying fishing without using a downrigger for right now. Once the Kokes start biting I will be out atleast 5 days a week.
