I had an open window to go fishing before all the festivities of the 4th. It turned to be a very good idea. Shoecraft is a beautiful lake with a very serene and notably shallow launch. Perfect for a kayak or small aluminum row boat like mine. However, trying to find the launch turnoff was not easy. Great fishing! First fish on in 30 seconds. Best fishing was at the deeper end with close to 30’ deep. I dropped my presentation to 5-8’ below the surface. Spectacular finally with a double to the net. Successful setup was pop gear to olive colored Wooly bugger or red wedding ring with smile blade, tipped with Berkeley trout attractant.

What was size of fish? I have not fished here for many years. But will always remember how shallow the water can be just after leaving the launch and just before entering main lake. I have had to walk a 17ft boat with 3 occupents inside through that stretch. Just enough water to float the boat but not near enough to use a motor.

Hi Motoboat, The fish were 11-13”. The launch will only work if you can push your boat off the trailer. Estimate 1-2’ deep until you clear the entry canal.
