I checked WDFW website and found the Lake Shoecraft was planted recently. With all the bad weather lately I was anxious to get out and do some fishing with my 6 year old son Miles. We started fishing about 10:00 trolling dodgers and wedding rings tipped with a small piece of worm. Trolled around the lake and ended up in one corner of the lake with lots of surface activity. Once we found the fish it was non stop action. We had about 20 hookups and landed 10 in about 2 hours. All were your typical 11-12 inch hatchery trout however, they were quite fiesty and Miles had a great time reeling them in. One other guy on the lake fishing in a kayak, he had 4 when I talked to him. Beautiful warm day and great to get out and catch some fish!

Hey man, nice report. Sounds like a good day with your boy on the lake. I have fished Shoecraft a few times, but haven't found where they like to hang out it there. Where were you in relation to the boat launch?

Head out from that canal where the boat launch is, take a hard right along the buoys and start trolling from there. Work your way to the corner of the lake that is ahead of you from there. I'm not sure of the direction as far as north, south east or west. I'll find a map of the lake and see if I can figure it out.

No need for a map man, I know EXACTLY where your talking about. I will be there Saturday morning in my Smokercraft with my boy, maybe see you there! Thanks Again Man!
