Size 12 is the largest that I have. It seems to work the best.

I haven't fished from shore at Boysen since I was a kid, so I'm not sure. Fishing about sun up, just before sun-down, or at night would increase your chances a lot. Likely worms or minnows for bait. Some crank-baits may work also.

@@jimmyinthewild4148 thank you. Is there any specific spots that would work well? I usually fish the Wind river after the spillway for big rainbows so I’m new to walleye fishing

@@JG_23_ I think the better places mid summer are likely 1) The eastern shore and coves between the Bad Water Creek inlet and Tough Creek peninsula. 2) the western shore and coves between Sand Mesa and Cottonwood camping areas. Early-early morning and later evening (just before dark), the fish will be closer to shore in 15-ish feet of water.

@@jimmyinthewild4148 ok stink you I appreciate it a lot

@@jimmyinthewild4148thank you! Rick is my good friends grandpa so maybe he’d take me sometime 😂. Seems like a great guy

About 12 or so miles toward Miracle Mile.

I do throw back about 95% of all fish that I catch. I don't think I'd want to clean that many fish. I'm actually very selective of what I keep. I fillet all fish that are going to be frozen, but we do eat a lot of fish. On average we eat fish at least 3 times a week, and most are store bought. For the fish I catch, I fillet the trout and leave the skin on, but remove all bones and fins. I also fillet all walleye and make sure there are no bones or skin. if the fish aren't going to be eaten immediately, they are vacuum sealed and frozen. I have a really great vacuum sealer that I use a lot. I usually eat all fish within a few weeks of being caught. We almost never have walleye in the freezer more than a week. There have been a few packages of trout that have been in the freezer for a month, but the vacuum sealer has never let me down. No freezer burn or meat degradation. Only pack one meal's worth (2 to 3 people) of fish in each vacuum sealed bag. Also, only freeze the fish once. If you thaw and freeze fish more than once, then you'll have mushy fish problems. Also, you need to be very selective on the trout you keep. Nearly all female trout, a few months before spawning time and a few months after spawning time, will have mushy streaky overly-fishy meat no matter what you do. I toss those back even if they are monsters. Male trout can also have streaky light colored meat before an after spawning time, but their meat is usually still firm and edible if grilled with blackening spices or smoked. If you get a vacuum sealer, get your sealing bag material from Sam's Club because it's super cheap compared to sporting goods stores.

@@jimmyinthewild4148 Thanks!!! I fillet pretty much everything but small (12" or less) trout that I'm planning on eating. I just wondered what you were doing since that video bounty should have resulted in a bunch of fantastic fillets, and unless you're feeding an army, I wondered how you saved them for later. Looks like we're on the same page, as I vacuum seal anything I want to save for later. I live less than an hour from Boysen, but tend to fish a lot of lakes other than it, even though I have a walleye boat. 😆😂🤣😅 Thanks for the video and the info!!!

just under 1 MPH all the way to about 2 MPH for Walleye and 1 MPH up to 3 MPH for trout

This was mid June 2022

That sounds cool Justin. Not sure when we'll fish Boysen again. Could be sometime this summer. I live in Casper so it's tough to tell when my family and friends from Riverton will have a chance to get out and go fishing.

Sorry to say this, but you are an absolute F#$%$ idiot. Everyone in Wyoming knows that Horned lizards are not protected in Wyoming. Go back to Canada or where you're from, dumba$$!!😝😝😝

How do you know if he's a conservationist or not? How do you know if he is a professional or not? Shut the hell up ,he's not killing them or anything. He even said that collecting them is bad!!!

@@RapidReptiles13 thanks. Just a guy that grew up in Wyoming and I know the laws well.

@@jimmyinthewild4148this guys name is “wiseup” and he is not wise at all if he thinks it’s this serious 😂

Incorrect., not in Wyoming. Maybe in Canada, but not here. Where did you even come up with your erroneous information?

@@jimmyinthewild4148 it's all over the internet duh

@@wiseup8729 not!! You're definitely not wise.

@@wiseup8729that’s not true at all

We found dozens of kids' Zebco 303 or 202 fishing combos, anchors, boat motors, crank baits, and so many other things that people lost over the years, but no stringers with lots of fish.

Yes. We all carry cans of pepper spray and most of us carry bear worthy pistols.

That would be awesome! Let me know when you head up there and we'll figure it out.

I'm so used to it, that I don't really notice until the end of the day when my hands are dried out. I definitely need hand lotion when I get back to the truck.

We definitely avoided fishing in the really cold. It got to -34 at the house. Miss you too!

Be careful. The ice is thinner this year 2024 It could be dangerous for a few more weeks.

My transducer is mounted on a Ram 18" Transducer Mount - 72023035, which I purchased from Amazon. It's mounted to a 1" RAM ball that is mounted just behind the seat on top of the left side cock-pit shoulder. This allows the transducer to be fully submerged and not have to try and work through the hull. You can see it on the following video if you pause it at about 11:30: ruclips.net/video/Uatn7ZpfFC8/видео.html On one Mokai I have a Garmin 94 SV wit the normal long transducer that came with it. On the other Mokai I have a Humingbird with what ever transducer came with it.

For many lakes like this one, there are not length limits like that. So I could keep all 6 trout in my limit and they could all be over 20 inches. However, there are length limits like only 1 over 16 inches or 1 over 20 inches for many creeks and rivers. The regs are pretty clear. When I was younger, there were length limits where you could only have 1 over 20 inches from this lake, but the regs changed a while back.

We caught most of the fish in the middle of the lake between Tuff Creek and the far shore to the west. I can't remember the water depth, but The water depth was probably somewhere around 50 feet or so. All fish were suspended about 15 feet below the surface since the crank baits were trolled at a depth of about 12 to 17 feet..

I thought the same

No kidding

In a typical year, mid April to early May. However, this year has not been typical. We've had a very cold winter with lots of snow. The lake was still partially iced over when they were filling it up. So mid April wasn't a possibility. Also the lake is full right now. We may also have enough water to spill over at Pathfinder this year, which will cause the water in the canyon to get high early and cover that section of river that I was fishing. Not sure if or when that will happen.

I keep some fish, because I eat a lot of fish. Nothing goes to waste. Rarely do we keep limits. Who wants to clean and fillet that many fish, and I don't want to waste any. Also, I fish a lot and I only keep a very small percentage of the fish I catch, and not on every trip. Most trips are just for fun where we let everything go, but when it's time to keep fish, that's what I'm going to do.😁😁😁

Minnows on this trip

@@jimmyinthewild4148 treble hooks or single?

@@HockeyInd single hooks. I use single Gamakatsu Octopus hooks on the tip-ups. Some of the jigs that I use on the jigging poles might have treble hooks, but not very many.

@@jimmyinthewild4148 Thanks for the reply! Great video.
