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 k...

This launch has always been a bugger but man is it getting SKINNY! Lots of silt has settled in and it's not far from being impassable.
Launched around 10am off at 2:30. Water temps were 53 to 57...

This report is a few days late. Last Wednesday we went over to Shoecraft for the first time. To say the launch is a challenge is an understatement! It's situated in a stream about 25 yards from the la...

Arrived at 8:00 am and launched my kayak. The lake water level is down a few feet and getting anything other than a kayak or small boat would be very difficult based on the low water level at the WDFW...

I made an executive decision and took today off specifically to fish somewhere different. I didn't go too wild. In fact, I pretty much just went across the street from where I do the vast majority of ...

In May, I challenged myself to fish at a new lake every week. There are lots of lakes to explore! My go-to trout setup is trolling with Jack Loyd pop gear, 12-18” leader to a yellow-green woolly bugge...

Braved the Launch at Shoecraft today and it was not as bad as I though. Caught a good dozen of the plants but the fun was the left overs from last year that were more than happy to play. We kept 5 of...

Good time to shake the dust of the light weight tackle and test out your gear. Shoecraft is loaded with planter rainbows right now running in the 12" range or so. Nothing that will wow your socks off ...
