I would say chumming in lakes for trount would be illegal and expensive if you get caught.

 

Chuming is perfectly legal at Baker and lake Shannon as long as fishing season is open[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

That's right and if you don't chum in Baker Lake, you won't catch anything!

 

What kind of mix would you use, I've never chummed [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

 

Something really stinky that you keep in a covered 5 gal. bucket.!
Usually a mixture of very fine sawdust shavings and rotten fish eggs. Mix it together in the bucket, adding water if needed, then put the lid on and let them ferment for a day or two is best (or you can use them right away). You will want to scoop them out and throw them in the water with a large spoon or ladle that you will not be using for anything else ever again! You also need to use Pautzkis *****-O-Fire red eggs and maggots, yes live maggots, to catch the Kokanees at Baker Lake.
You can buy the chum fixin's (and maggots) at either the Baker Lake Resort store or I believe you can buy ithem at the bait and tackle store down by Concrete. There is sometimes a bait shack set up on the North Cascades Hiway before you get to Baker Lake Road.

 

what is everyone up to tonight?

 

We'll, I'm fixin to open my tackle box for the first time in 7 years. That's the last time I went fishing, wonder what power bait smells like after all these years? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

 

Wasn't bad at all, much more bass gear than trout gear.better head to the store and stock up [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
