Northwest Reel Life April 2023 Volume 2 Issue 10 - Flipbook - Page 4
EDITOR’S CORNER:
Hello Readers! The Big News for the Pacific Northwest has to be the awesome sockeye
returns shaping up for Baker Lake. With a forecast of over 50,000 fish and strong early
returns the limit has been raised to 5 sockeye per day. With the backdrop of Mt Baker, this is
one of the most beautiful places to go fishing in the PNW. The fishing will be strong well into
August, after the early crowds have moved on. In this issue, Randy Castello goes over late
season tips for Baker. Be sure to add it to your calendar to check out this amazing fishery!
Here in Montana several rivers will go into “hoot owl” regulations to reduce catch and release
stress on fish. Regardless of regs, handle your fish with extra care in the hot summer season.
My son Matt and I have caught some huge rainbow and brown trout this summer, not to
mention a beautiful 25” walleye Matt caught and released.
August can bring some hot weather so be sure to stay hydrated and use that sunscreen!
