Was here a month ago, wind starter getting dangerous and almost didn't make it back to the launch...it was wild, probably the most scared I've been kayak fishing on a lake with the wind and waves. Got there at 7am...then about 9am the wind went from 0-20mph in no time.
@ninjarider84 oh wow that's crazy. I am glad you made it out safely. I was having trouble with recreational boats running to close to my kayak but not so much with wind and such. Especially in American lake, I had a wake boat that was flying 10 ft away from me. Almost capsize me and the boat operator just look at me and didn't seem to care at all.
Family has limited quickly 2hrs every time...they want worms and spinner action. The 14" preferred longer leaders and 50' to bottom on the scan. The 1st year fish hang out 25-45' just under the thermocline. We and the locals have never seen Kokanee as the Bass have eliminated the planters. Angle lake has a variety of age class Kokanee and trout but the ramp is hard on PDL carts and must beat the park folks for a close spot. Tight lines...
@@aquanaut250DD Thank you for the great information. I appreciate your comment and advice. Angle Lake is way too noisy for me...lol.Airplanes is always departing and landing every 5 minutes seems like. Tight lines and Fish On!!
I’ve fished that lake a lot, and there are Kokanee in it. However I’ve never come away with more than one in a trip. Couple years ago I was there for the opener and there was a WDFW fish checker at the ramp surveying folks as they came off the lake. He hadn’t seen a single Kokanee come out all morning. Honestly I think it’s more poor management by WDFW. I think they’re over stocking trout. With all the trout being stocked as catchable size, and Kokanee being stocked as fry, the Kokanee don’t have a chance since the trout compete with them for food sources. You can chum that lake tho. So maybe chumming and jigging could be a more effective tactic.
@jessetharp6319 wow...yeah I don't think stocking the lake with fry will work. I'm sure they get eaten by the Bass,trout and yellow perch. Now it makes sense that I don't see any fish that resemble a kokanee at thermo cline. Thanks so much for sharing.
Another great video. Keep up the good work.
@countryboy360 Thank you sir!! Will do.
Last video to catch up on! Let's go!!!!

When you use bait I believe that every fish counts as part of your limit
@ronsimpson8271 specify bait, Live bait or artificial?

Those gulp maggots are considered bait, so each fish you caught counted toward your limit.
@@captainsaveaho253 Thanks for the tip. Learn new things everyday. Much appreciated.
Saw you today out on north lake! Was out with my daughter on a 14’
Oh awesome!!! Next time stop by and say Hi. Did you do any good?
@@NWLAKEHOPPER I will for sure! It was okay fishing. It was my daughter’s first fishing trip so it was a great time!

Is the Lake close to north west trek
@ronsimpson8271 Not sure but it's in between Tanwax Lake and Ohop Lake
