Shrimp, ...or is it Scuds?


Will the fish in West Lake (Fish and Game Pond) survive the upcoming heat that is coming this summer? It is hard to tell. The lake has dropped 4 or 5 feet and there is 14 feet of water in places but the algae bloom and high water temperatures can cause a kill of the rainbows in the lake.

The team at F and G are trying everything in their power to raise the level of the lake. I hope they are successful.

Karen and I were back out today. The water temperature was 61F. It was unsettled weather this morning and we did not connect with any rainbows until we tried blobs and shrimp patterns. The shrimp pattern was definitely getting more takes. We fished with a Bubba Gump Shrimp about 3-4 below a strike indicator. We caught several thick rainbow trout!


We even had a visit from 2 tundra swans. That was cool!





Trying to raise the water level in the main pond!
