Captain Kyle's got all the latest gadgets – fish finders, GPS, you name it. We'll be using a mix of techniques, from trolling to jigging, depending on what's working best that day.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Let's talk fish, shall we? First up, we've got Smallmouth Bass – these feisty fighters are the rock stars of freshwater fishing. They love to hang out near rocky areas and drop-offs, and when they hit your line, hold on tight! These bronze beauties can grow up to 5 pounds or more in Washington waters. Spring and early summer are prime time for Smallies, but they'll keep you on your toes all season long. There's nothing quite like the acrobatic leaps of a hooked Smallmouth – it's like they're putting on a show just for you.

Now, onto the Lake Trout – these deep-dwelling giants are the stuff of angler dreams. We're talking about fish that can tip the scales at 20 pounds or more! They prefer the cooler, deeper parts of the lake, so we'll be using some specialized techniques to target them. Fall is the sweet spot for Lake Trout fishing, but they're active year-round. When you feel that heavy thump on your line and start reeling, you'll understand why folks get so fired up about these monsters. It's a true test of skill and patience, but man, is it worth it when you see that silver flash break the surface.

Learn more about the species

Lake Trout

Smallmouth bass are fighters pound-for-pound, usually running 2-6 pounds but packing a punch. You'll find them in clear, cool waters with rocky bottoms - they love structure. Spring and fall are prime, with bass cruising open water on sunny days. Come summer, they'll head deeper to beat the heat. Early mornings or evenings are your best bet then. These bronzebacks hit hard and jump like crazy, making them a blast on light tackle. A 6-10 pound test line on a medium-action rod is perfect. They'll take all sorts of lures, but here's a local tip: try a weightless plastic worm rigged wacky-style. Let it sink slowly near cover and hold on tight. Smallies aren't just fun to catch - they're great eating too, with firm, tasty meat. Just make sure you're fishing clean waters if you're planning to keep any for the pan.

Lake Trout

Smallmouth Bass

Lake trout are the giants of the char family, often hitting 15-40 pounds with some real monsters out there. These cold-water fish like to hang out deep in big, clear lakes where the water's nice and chilly. Spring's a prime time to target them, right after ice-out when they're cruising shallower. They're not fans of bright light, so overcast days are your friend. When summer heats up, they'll dive deep to stay cool - that's when knowing how to jig is key. Rapala Jigging Raps or soft plastics on a jig head work great in the depths. Folks love chasing lakers for their fight and tasty fillets. Here's a local trick: if you're fishing from shore, try at night or early morning when they might come in closer to feed. These fish grow slow and live long, so enjoy the challenge of hooking one, but remember to practice catch-and-release to keep 'em around for years to come.
