In step 3 you mentioned pulling the fish from the brine, but in step 2 it seems that you are only coating the fish in dry ingredients. Thanks!

Of course, you have to go to really know for sure, but if your outing is precious you may want to consider that. Frisken was reported to have had very low O2 readings over winter.

The ice was completely off. I heard it came off the Monday before. There were lots of boats on the water at first, but action was slow and most people had left by Sunday. The lake is getting more and more popular, and I think it is starting to impact the fishing. The biggest fish I caught was a 22" little hog, but it was nothing like the huge lunkers that I'm used to in that lake. We decided a change in venue was needed and headed up to Plateau Lake for Sunday and Monday. There was a massive chironomid hatch and we slayed them in the shallows. Had the lake all to our ourselves and fished passed dark. Glorious! I was at Blue May 10 – 12. The ice was completely off. I heard it came off the Monday before.

Although he reported seeing the odd decent fish on the shoal, most were very small. They caught mostly fish from 15-19". He was very disappointed and reported much the same last year. He also said the lake got very busy on the Thursday, and that after fishing the morning and seeing a dozen boats produce 1 fish, he split.

Hey Rob,

I just received word Pass was a “total” winter kill. and so was bleeker. were sending some spring Catchables up any day now. 500 for pass and 1000 for bleeker which also winterkilled. That’s in addition to the regular yearlings they receive to try and jump start the lakes. I was hoping to get to them before the long weekend but with this heat it looks like our creeks are running and we need to do a brood take on Friday. I will be getting Catchables to Kentucky and Alleyne in time for the long weekend though.

Once the Catchables are in they will show up on our web site that night so it’s pretty quick uploading.

Fish On’

Thanks for the update Craig!

As for stocking Pass with FV catchables, well, I have mixed feelings about that. Sure it's nice to be able to get in on some fatso's the very next year after the kill but, call it nostalgia or whatever, but I kinda liked having to work for the fussy Pennasks that I grew up with at Pass.

Do you know if the Fishery's will stock Pass this month??? Or do you have any contacts that would know??? If they do and put in catchables at least there would be some nice 2 to 3 Lb'ers in the fall. Well here's hopein' Thanks, and bye the way I think this is the best fishing info site I have ever found on the net. Keep up the REALLY good work. Thanks again. Hi Rob, Question for you.

Was at Roche Friday and the chronies were pouring off. Also took a cruise over to Black lake - didn't fish it but talked to a couple fellows that had a good day there. Campbell & Scuitto are producing as well. Where ever you go good luck, have fun & let us know how you make out! :) Not quite Merritt Dawn (and most likely to be busy with long weekend “crazies”) but for what it’s worth most of the Roche area lakes seem to be going strong now.

Five boats out there no one caught anything but now for the good news I saw a 16 incher jump,, so some fish survived albeit on the small scale,,but atleast not a full winter kill. Just need some bugs to hatch hehe. Hi all fished Pass lake today, fish finder picked up alot of little guys between 23 and 27 feet bottom was at 31 feet.
