The weather was too nice to be inside so I headed out to Silver Lake. This was my first time fishing this lake. I worked a variety of the backwater "canals" until I found some willing biters. I was using a 1/32 oz metallic chartreuse Maxi-Jig made by Yakima Bait Company about 3 ft under a bobber. The bite lasted for a few hours and I managed to catch around 15 fish. Several of them were around 9" in size and excellent fighters on light tackle. This was my 19th species of fish/shellfish caught/harvested as part of my Cascadia Big Fishing Year (www.bigfishyear.net).
