When salmon are spawning at outlet of Paxton fish in the closed(to salmon fishing) area with an egg or facsimile. 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 Michigan state record was caught in Lake Superior off L'Anse....61.5lbs. It is on display at the Hillside Restaurant in L'Anse. I was told it was caught near Stannard Rock, http://daybreakfish.com/stannard-rock-offshore-adventure/

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.

Just curious. I'm sure it's temperature and food source specific, but how old would some of those yard long fish be?

Research there showed 8 years to maturity and about 25", and 8 more years to 26". Things slow WAY down when they start spawning.

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.

You guys are correct. "Paxton" was misspelled. Should have been spelled "Summit". Have not been to either lake or area in 30 plus years. Brain ain't the only thing on a downgrade.....

I felt like an azz for asking, but I know how my brain works these days.
Thanks, Jeff
