American Lake

[Randy B]

Ok!
This is my first report in Washington. I fished American Lake on Sat. 4th.
Started fishing at 7:45am, dropped my downriggers in 100 yards from the ramp and headed for the island. I marked alot of fish from 25 to 35 feet deep. I offered those fish apex's, spinners in many colors for the first 2 hours and did not get a bite so at 9:30 I put on a Shasta tackle white UV wiggle hoochie in back of a 6" uv sling blade, put 3 Kok's to the boat in 15 minutes. The kok's were 12", 12.5" and 13". All were fat and had lots of fight. All were caught at 30ft deep, 1.2MPH to 1.4MPH. All fish were caught between the ramp and the island. I fished for 2 more hours with out a bite. Better than a skunk!
It was a clear day and the view of Mt Rainer was very cool!

On Sunday I drove to but did not fish Summit Lake...is it a good Kokanee lake?

Thanks for the report.

Very nice report! Those fish seem just to be getting fatter instead of longer. I have heard that Summit isn't bad, but the fish are smaller. Good luck out there!

Summit does have Kokanee, but smaller in size than American. My best luck on Summit has been mid-lake, in the middle, 50ft down, trolling back and forth or in large slow turning circles.
