Squam was good and bad, to both extremes. I caught quite a few big Salmon and even 2 Lakers 5 and 7 pounds, but many times only the one fish and even more days "no fish".

I have a real mixed feelings about the Lake right now. Sure a trophy lake is a great idea and I love to catch big Salmon, but so many skunk days are pretty dissapointing.

I agree it will be good in a year or two if we practice catch and release so that the babies in there now develop into bigger fish. On John Viar's advice, I only took out Salmon 4 pounds and up this year and a few of the 4's I put back too.

When I find out the netting schedule, but after last years netting results I was sky high on this years fishing only to be somewhat dissapointed as you were.
I hate to say fishing was "bad" as I did catch quite a few over 5 and one over 6, but I put in allot of time to do it.

I'll post the netting schedule here and as far as fishing after the 30th, your on.
