Sadly, Pat, I think many of us may be done for the year. Either our favorite lakes are un-launchable, or the power squadron has concentrated on the few lakes that are open, making fishing impossible. August is usually a poor fishing month, besides. It has been for me, anyway.

Trout and koke guys may have some fishing time left. Ditto for you micro-craft folks. The rest of us, no.

You will miss out on some of the best fishing of the year. Trout fishing might not be your forte but it's hard to beat the action you can get at lakes like Strawberry during the fall months. Granted 90% of the fish you will catch will be in the slot limit but the amount of action and numbers caught far out number the days of not fishing at all.

I don't totally limit my fishing for trout. I just like fishing, be it warm or cold water fish. Athough there is one fish I have no desire to fish for and that being catfish. I got burned out fishing for them as a kid with my dad. However, I do enjoy eating them. I'm still after the elusive Crappie which continues to haunt me but I'm still trying. Maybe this year.
