Silver Bullet Report post Posted June 15, 2021 Hi all, We normally head up to Reservation Lake this time of year for some tent camping and just soaking some Rainbow PowerBait. But this time our plan has changed to camping at Winn Campground (which we’ve heard many positive things about the camp sites and camp hosts). My question is if anyone has tips on fishing Big Lake relaxing from shore (night crawlers or PowerBait)? Or should we fish a different nearby lake? We do catch and release. Thanks!

Just got back from a long weekend there. We had planned to fish Christmas Tree, but since the tribe shut-off the backcountry we had to change plans. We were fly fishing only, but I saw guys and talked to some that were fishing from shore and doing just fine. PowerBait and worms, both! Get some good fresh line on your reel, weigh it down with a bell-sinker at the end and cast that sucker as far as possible!! Also, if you are interested and your budget allows, renting a boat from the store for 1/2 day can be a great way to get into some, either drifting worms or trolling small brown trout rapalas or other spoons/spinners. Good luck! S/ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tomharveyb Report post Posted June 15, 2021 Did great on power bait from shore a couple weeks ago. 4# line, #8 or 10 hook, split shot 18” above hook. Easy limits at south cove. Hard to catch and release with power bait, tho. We fished spinners when we wanted to catch and release. We did ok on spinners...bait was better. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One after another. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
