My sometimes fishing buddy Chris and I ventured to Omak Lake to see how the fishing is. I was told two years ago when I went Memorial Day weekend to Omak Lake and found the fish swimming the shoreline that this was the tail end of the spring fishing, so I have wanted to go earlier to see how it is in the “prime”. As the open boat launch is too primitive for my car our plan was to fish the shoreline at Beer Can Beach area. We first fished Friday the 5th and found it very windy in the morning. I wore rain gear to help break the wind and found it to doable. When I fished Omak the first time two years ago I found that a green short haired Woolly bugger under a strike indicator was the ticket to catch the big fish. I landed a 7 LB fish the first trip. Since it was windy the plan was to use spinners. Spinners proved to be effective as we caught 7 fish in a few hours ranging from 16” to 22”. Chris used a wedding ring set up with a fly at the hook end, he caught the larger fish. That night we fished a few hours with fly’s, spinners and spoons. We caught 13 fish, again the smallest being 16” and the largest around 24”. The next night we fished several hours and caught 17 fish. I caught 12 of them on a Dardevle Spinnie spoon in Crackle frog. The fish would not leave that frog lure alone. We both missed many hook ups. Most of the larger fish had spawning colors while the smaller with a few exceptions were a brilliant green on top with spotted silver on the sides.
