Beaver Lake

[Hook them Lipps]

Went out last weekend.  Didn't get thier untill about 12 pm A guy was just coming off the ice with a dozen fish.  He said the bite just stopped.  Had to wait for my grandpa (he was with my grandma at a hair appointment).  No one was catching anything after we got thier.  My dad cought one salmon at 40 ft.  I had a bite and so did grandpa.  We tried for the rainbow but nothing.  Anyone catch any rainbow out thier in the last year?

where is Beaver lake?

[Hook them Lipps]

North of whitefish, about ten miles. It has Kokanee, Salmon, and supposedly Rainbow Trout. Haven't heard anyone getting Rainbow reccently though.

Just for clarification here...Kokanee=Salmon....Kokanee is a landlocked Sockeye Salmon.

There are definately Rainbows in Beaver Lake and there are some very nice size Rainbows in Beaver lake.  I have seen (not caught myself) 5lb rainbows come out of that lake through the ice...

Good Fishing

Beaver kokes seem to be a little different than most places,  they seem timid.  Try replacing the standard glo hook sweedish pimple salmon rig with a darker pimple or castmaster and a small fly like a hares ear, phesant tail, or prince nymph.  That has worked for me

YOu know I tried that combo out at Ashley lake with a black ant fly. It seems like it would be a real good bait.  Never caught any but I was working and fishing.  (hard to see a salmon bite at 50 yards). 
A family friend of our always talks about the big rainbows he use to catch at night with a big fire on shore in the summer.  That was 10 years ago though.  Well they must be in there unless the salmon are eating them!  ahahaa
