Title: Lynn Creek
Post by: Novabonker on May 09, 2010, 04:57:25 PM
I saw some kids by the side of the creek, fishing away with very limited success.The salmon run in the fall shouldn't be disturbed as it's pretty fragile, but up near the headwaters park, there seems to be a few residents. I'm thinking off flipping a fly up there, but if I'm not sure of the regs, I won't do it. Anyone know the regs for Lynn Creek?

The resident fish in that system are miniscule, be sure to use tiny hooks and anything over a three wieght would be overkill.  :)

Probably best if I just leave them alone. It's just the water is so pretty, and it seems almost fishy, but I realize how sterile the water is. Not much feed.

It's definitely a beautiful stream. I make sure to go for a hike in there at least once a year. After an hour or so of fishing I put the rod away as finding anything over eight inches is next to impossible.

Of the hundreds of fish I caught in that creek as a little kid, the biggest was maybe 8", most were 5-6".  Suffice it to say that i never really fished it much after I got my drivers license.
