Pram-a-thon--Pramorama--Prams on Parade.......Whatever it is called will take place in late September or early October at Lost Lake in the Okonogan. At this point several of us have agreed to go and perhaps a few more pram owners would like to show up and fish for brightly colored brookies among the fall colors. No date is cast in stone yet and I am just now getting a feel for how many would be interested. Ideally we could compare notes and boats, take a few pictures, catch some decent fish and have a big feed on at least one night. I will be bringing both gas and charcoal grills and perhaps enough firewood for a decent evening fire.
Other lakes in the area should provide some fine fishing as well, among them Aeneas, the Blue's, Wanacutt, Sidley and others. Expect warm days and cool nights and hungry fish.
There is a very nice campground at Lost but of course no hookups. It should be pretty empty that time of year and pretty darned quiet.
Let me know if this sounds like something you would like to do and we'll put together a date over the next few months that works best for those attending.
As you already know, I'm in. I'll be putting some new varnish on Pramela when I get back next week. She's nothing spectacular, but she floats. I may scout the lake out when I'm up that first week in September for the grouse opener.
Can we sing Kum-by-yah around the fire, huh, can we, and eat smores...
Count me in. Sounds like a blast and it is a good excuse to get together to meet some of you and catch some fish in a beautiful part of the state during my favorite time of year.
I can only think of a couple of things that MAY keep me from coming. Death or a Methow opener. :thumb:
This gives me an idea. I wonder how many prams we'd have to sell for this event before ol' Jim at Spring Creek would give me a deal on his new 13 foot boat?
Nice rig BF4M. Just might check into that lease program. Thank god I can keep all my floating craft in the office basement, hate to have her know how much junk (stuff) I really have.... Never has to see the home turf.
Wife and I spent a late Sept. week camping at Lost Lake a couple of years ago. It is a beautiful, quite, campground and lightly used. Fishing during the day was very tough, but dusk into dark was another story. Fished other lakes in the area during the days; Sidley, Bonaparte, and the Beth/Beaver chain. Sidley was productive with a seal bugger slow on the bottom, Bonaparte fished like it was barren, Beth and Beaver were fun- eager 10"ers in the shallows and some very nice carryovers deep, again slow and very deep with seal buggers. As for Lost the picture shows what comes out to play at dusk. The brookie didn't seem to let the talon punctures bother it and may explain why day time fishing was so slow.
Here are some pictures of my pram, took me long enough. (My son had to do it for me) We couldn't get the pictures to just post. Last weekend was the 100th fishing trip for my pram. I built it three summers ago, it's called "TOY BOAT." Hope to make the pram-a-thon this year.----Steve
