Tried out my new livingston for my first time up the slough for some trout and pike minnow. In about 2 seconds trolling I had a fish nail my lure but then nothing after that. Fishing picked up after bothell landing, and I got some nice hits but could bring them in. Later in woodinville my friend was slaying these fish, he caught pike minnows, a cutthroat, and in about 4 inches of water he caught a very nice cutthroat. On the way back my frined caught a huge pike minnow, the biggest ive seen. Just before leaving woodinville my battery died, and it was gettting dark. It took us over 3 hours in the pitch dark rowing back and hearing tons of beavers splash there tails and bats everywhere. Finaly we got back around 11:30. It was a very stetchy boat ride in the dark!

Yep, Livingstons are battery eaters.

Do you know if they have bass in the slough there in woodinville area? When I get off the freeway and look down on the slough it looks like a bass habitat. I always wondered.

i have been debating for weeks to take my aluminum up the rivers, we have oars and a 55lb thrust, how far up can you go before it gets to shallow or the current picks up? no i am stuck, the river or green lake...

when you get up by woodinville just below the park you enter very shallow water, but if you find the little bit deeper side you can get through. Also I heard that you cant use electric motors in green lake but im not sure. good luck!
