If it is still legal to do so. 12 inchers used to be in there thick sucking up Salmon roe. Soak some eggs off the shore in Kenai Lake late evening/overnight down Hidden Lake Trail. Almost always has worked for me for lakers, dollies and the occaisional rainbow. Or most anywhere probably. They come up and cruise the shoreline late eve and night. The only true cost of having a dog is its death.

Not being a smart azz, but I can't find a paxton lake, I'm assuming paxson and paxton are the same? Google earth couldn't anyway.

And I think he is talking about Summit Lake, rather than Paxson as that is where the closed area is. And I have not seen the swarms of small lakers in many years. Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.

Things slow WAY down when they start spawning. Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.

There is definitely great ranbow fishing at the outlet of Paxson, we would fish down there a couple times a year. Never got much for lakers there this time of year but the rainbow fishing is really good. We always fished beads though. There are a couple of markers along the shore that mark where the lakers spawn. We fished those spots in the fall with great success.

Have not been to either lake or area in 30 plus years. Brain ain't the only thing on a downgrade..... The only true cost of having a dog is its death.
