Okanagon country! Sun lakes, Moses, Omak grew up in chelan area fished all them lakes killer memories indeed! Have fun great video! I miss it live in AZ now fulltime
I fished this place for the first time this year in the spring WOW! What an incredible fishery! My uncle lives in Twisp. I have the winters off, if you ever want to collaborate let me know! Would love to fish this place with you, or anywhere else around the area.
Great video, I grew up on the west side of the state on the Olympic Peninsula and had the fortunate chance of fishing all the productive lakes & rivers surrounding PA , caught my largest trout still to date in the upper Elwha (Glines canyon) 7.5 lb rainbow 1979 ….Have you ever thought of doing a show on Lake Crescent even though it’s a catch & release fishery, that would be a fun one to watch…..keep up the great work!!!!!
Awesome Fishery beautiful scenery. Lahonton are one of the last fish I need to finish my cutthroat quest of catching all the subspecies. This terminal lake is what these Cutthroats love that can handle higher salinity content. Where does Colville tribe get their eggs and Fry from do they have their own Hatchery
@spiltmilt I saw your FB post about the possibility of living in Sonora Ca. I live 30 minutes away in Oakdale. Yes, we have the 3 Kokanee lakes you mentioned. New Melones, Pardee, and Pedro plus numerous other lakes. If there's anything I can do for you, answer any questions about the area, let me know. I'd be happy to help. Have a good one! 🎣
I used to fish those lakes back in the 80's early 90's when visiting wife's parents. Caught them on a fly rod using red butted skunk steelhead flies. Also trolled an Andy Reeker spoon with single barbless siwash hook from a small pram with oars. Quit that because I was hooking too many fish up through their eye, wasn't good for the fish. Felt a small treble would actually do the fish less harm but the regulations said single barbless. Awesome fish.
I think the tribe needs to plant Tui chub in the lake from which the Lahontons came (Pyramid). I bet the trout would explode in size with another food source and they are native to Pyramid and can live in the alkaline water, Sacramento perch living in Pyramid are not native but could also survive and become another food source. Just a thought because the Pyramid Trout are much bigger and healthy looking not long and "somewhat" thin like Omak fish.
I think they mostly just over stock the lake. If they stopped doing that they would get a lot bigger. Due to its more northerly location its much colder as well and thereby less productive. Bringing Tui Chub here is a bad idea since they are highly invasive.
$80 to be on tribal land. #80 for a tribal fishing license. $80 to launch a boat from only 3 different boat launches. That's why you have the place to yourself. I did the trifecta last year and it is true, incredible fishery. But, I did not repeat because it's just too expensive for this retiree.
Really? I thought you just had to get the tribal license, didn’t realize they charge you more to be on the reservation and to launch your boat too. Is that something new since Covid?
Love cutthroat. I think the prettiest are the West slopes. My best cut throat is 30" 10 lb Yellowstone Cutthroat on the Snake River by Twin falls Idaho off of the Twin Falls power plant boat dock.
Res. permit and fishing license are $80 each annually. You can get daily permits for each. Boat launch is also $80 annually. Yep, that's why he has the place to himself.

Originally came from Pyramid. They use local broodstock now.
I thought copper was the key color ? going to have to try the blue fox. Wife n I love Omak lake.
Some the fishing 🤠🎣
I really enjoy your channel Tyler, thanks for sharing. Does that lake ever ice over?
Never does

You can use barless treble now. And I agree they are less harmful to the fish generally.
Heading to Olympia in June would you be interested taking an old fly fisherman would take care of your time dinner and beer
Nice
Does this lake fish well all winter?
It does and due to its alkalinity it never freezes
What is underwater camera do you use on time ice fishing? I need brand.
I use the Marcum Pursuit HD amzn.to/40UdinV
Thank you so much for your answer.
What size blue fox are you using
#3
Are you using a braid to fluorocarbon line setup? That lake looks like it's perfect for bank fishing. Also what do the cutthroat eat in that lake?
Yes braid to fluoro. They mostly eat each other.
Do they taste any better than the Lake Lenora Lahotans?
I don’t eat trout
@@spiltmilt Oh, any particular reason? It's not like those lahotans are native or anything like that.
I just don't like the taste of trout. I prefer salmon.

@@spiltmilt Do they only feed off cutthroat fry in Omak?
Do you ever fish this lake on your kayak?
I recall a couple vids of him jigging for the Lahontans
Yes all the time.
How many fish can you keep? Your trout net looks nice. What brand of net is it? Where did you buy it?
Thank
Limit is 3. The net is a Frabill I bought it on Amazon amzn.to/4fD6LlZ

Yup same here for THIS handicapped 62 yr old.
Where is this?
@@adrianalvarado7407 North Central Washington state. 8 miles from the city of Omak.

@@FishStalker777 That's about when it changed. It's a shame, although it does make it less pressured.
Love cutthroat. I think the prettiest are the West slopes. My best cut throat is 30" 10 lb Yellowstone Cutthroat on the Snake River by Twin falls Idaho off of the Twin Falls power plant boat dock.
HI GREAT VIDEO WHAT ROD DO HAVE IN THIS VIDEO
Okuma Celilo UL Trout Rod: amzn.to/2xX6cnb
I'm in norcal,, what lake is that.. looks awesome
Omak. North Central Washington. Very remote. No cell service. You are on your own. But, tons of aggressive fish!!
@Ken-x9w best kind of fishing,cause the wife knows not to ask, hey dear u leaving soon. Ya babe just a couple more casts 🤣🤣
You must be from the city to think Omak Lake is remote. Its 20 minutes out of town.
How much you pay for the permit??? ONLY reason no one is there.
Res. permit and fishing license are $80 each annually. You can get daily permits for each. Boat launch is also $80 annually. Yep, that's why he has the place to himself.
@@Ken-x9w what lake is that?
Tyler. What watch do you wear when fishing?
