When I posted my last Ward Lake report it came to the attention of the areas fish biologist James Losee. He has been doing a study on Ward Lake and needed more fish to finish the study and asked me to help. I roped Trent and Eric in as well and we had 3 boats, 4 people, and 6 rods in the water by 7am in the morning.
That was it. Eric had 1 bite and I had 1 bite while I was talking with Trent; see video.
By 9:30am I was done with not having any bites and James was coming to get my fish samples from last week when I did much better. Trent started bass fishing and he caught one. Eric and his son kept trolling pulling in a nice cutthroat and later a rainbow.
This lake normally has lots of small kokanee (10-11 inches) but not this year. Fewer fish but 13-14 inches.
Water temp was 68 degrees. The sky was clear and sunny. There was that fall chill that caused the lake to create fog (mist) rising off the water.
We are in a battle! Angler against fish! We need an arsenal of weapons and at my site you will find some of those different weapons. For all those who wannafish a lure come in and take a look at WannafishALure.com.
