Cast the bait out and let it sit until you get a bite. To avoid putting lead in the water, use bigger non-lead splitshot weights since size doesn’t matter: they are far enough away from the hook to scare fish.Īlternatively, powerbait can be fished on a hook hanging under a bobber for the same presentation. The distance between the hook and weight will determine how far off the bottom the bait will float. Place a glob of power bait on a size 6 or 8 hook at the end of the line with a weight 1-2 feet behind it. Dough baits such as powerbait are usually the most effective way to catch them. We also enjoy cleaning and cooking our fish in various ways to eat the fruits of our labor:)Īs salmon season revs up in the rivers, crabs are still legal to catch and are growing in size piers are hot with bottomfish and other exciting creatures caught day and night, and finally cutthroat trout start to spawn when the waters cool down, we start gathering our food to preserve for the winter.įishing Hatchery-Stocked Rainbow Trout in Lowland Lakes – The Powerbait RigĪs most rainbow trout found in lakes are stocked by state hatcheries, they are used to eating hatchery pellets. We also attempt to be honorable harvesters, learning to avoid polluting the waters like using chiseled stones rather than lead weights, reducing pain on fish by putting them out of their misery as soon as possible, and utilizing everything we catch. We train ourselves and others to follow laws and traditions to fish local rivers, foothill lakes, and the Salish Sea. Target animals include trout including steelhead, salmon, bass, surf perch, flounder, sole, dogfish shark, lingcod, crab and other shellfish. Many people view fishing as a recreational past time, but at the Conservation College, we are a bit more pragmatic. Join us at our next fishing workshop, usually scheduled in mid June.
