SUMMER BOAT RENTAL/RESERVATIONS: As we move into Summer short staffed like every other business it is not out of the realm of possibility that we are no different than the airlines. We sell a reservation and then don’t have the crew and cancel because we have no choice. We certainly hope it doesn’t come to that but when you are short staffed already and some one pulls a no show no call it becomes impossible to put certain numbers of boats on the water. We must staff for all safety contingencies. So the reservation does not guarantee the boat but it does guarantee the boat if we are properly staffed. Crossing our fingers.

WE ARE HERE FISHING EVERYDAY AND CAN PUT YOU ON THE FISH.

PIC # 1: First time at Eleven Mile and landed a fish of a lifetime.. Caught on Monday at North Shore casting from the rocks. Windy so what! We’ll take the wind any day if we can catch a fish like that. Monster Brown 30” length 20” girth 14.8lbs

PIC # 2: Visiting from Phoenix on a father/son fishing trip to Colorado. Two firsts here. Aidan (right) catches his first salmon ever and biggest Trout ever. Memories made at the Mile on an 11 Mile Marina Guide trip.

PIC # 3: We have what you need and then some.

TROUT: GOOD TO VERY GOOD: Spring action continues with catching good from shore and boat. Many from Winter stocking but are fun to catch and ready to eat. 11 to 13 inches. Sometimes its non stop bites. Lots of bigger Cuttbows and Browns being caught ranging from 17 to 20 plus inches. Fish seems to be deep and shallow depending on time of day. Many baits are working. Start with your favorite and if no luck start moving through the tackle box. Jointed Rapala J-7 in gold or RT, always a Kastmaster, Green Rainbow Cowbells if you like them

KOKANEE SALMON: GOOD TO VERY GOOD: Well we are all in a Kokanee tizzy. Catching has been fun and better than many previous years for this time of the season particularly for folks who might not normally catch salmon. Generally a finicky fish Winter or Summer many many different baits have worked. Caught one on a jointed Rapala not something you would put on and say “I’m going salmon fishing”. We have caught and spoke to anglers who have landed them West in the middle out from Stoll. An orange Flatfish come on man can you believe a fisherman…well one old timer told us he was catching on them. The point is we have used many different baits and scored Kokes. Most successful have been Tas Devils, Arnies Dynamac, Wedding Rings and a variety of Mack’s tackle. Sling blades or dodgers if you like. Haven’t heard from the pop gear crowd but we suspect they are also catching them. Stop in for latest info and hot bait.

We like scent products on our presentation. We have number of ones we are trying with success. Pro Cure and Pautzke Firegel seem to work the best.

NORTHERN PIKE: GOOD: Some nice ones being reported caught around North Shore to Stoll and Sucker Cove to Lazy Boy. Howbert to Witchers hasn’t been too bad either. Troll big sticks in 10 feet of water near shoreline areas. They like the Pike patterns, Perch and Firetiger.
