Local fishing spot that really makes you wonder what the Washington Dept of Fisheries was thinking of when they decided to stock it. Pond is rather small and is only about 6 ft. deep. Plus the land surrounding the lake is swampy, so you better be sure to have lots of bug spray. Pond is too small for a boat, or tube. Bank fishing is the only option. Worms under a bobber, or fly fishing using dry patterns tends to be the best producer on this weed patch. Lake is nice out of the way fishing hole, but it is not meant for heavy fishing. Jim Brown

Bumping Reservoir (1,310 acres): Also called Bumping Lake, this reservoir produces good kokanee fishing for 6- to 9-inch fish starting in mid-May, with a generous kokanee limit. Trolling with gang trolls and maggots or still-fishing with flies and maggots is most successful. Expect fair fishing for 8- to 11-inch rainbows. The reservoir is closed to bull trout fishing. Excellent public camping is available at the lake, plus a good boat ramp.

Whatcom County’s Cain Lake is located about 9 ½ miles S.E. from Bellingham. It covers 72 surface acres, reaches depths of about 62 feet and lies at an elevation of 391 feet. Fish species include rainbow trout, largemouth bass and yellow perch. I have successfully fished this lake for largemouth bass but have not tried for the perch or trout. Prime bass habitat in this clear water lake includes pad fields, an abundance of logs and under water wood and private docks and floats. Public access is provided by the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife. The small access area has limited but usually adequate parking space in a nice setting of tall cedar and fir trees. There is a shallow gravel boat launch area. Boating restrictions: internal combustion engines are no longer allowed on Cain Lake. . Bob Johansen

Lewis County’s Carlisle Lake is located near the town of Onalaska. It covers 20 surface acres, has shallow depths and lies at an elevation of 506 feet. The little lake was previously known as the Onalaska Mill Pond. Fish species include rainbow trout, brown trout, largemouth bass, crappie, bluegill, pumpkinseed sunfish, and warmouth bass. I have fished this little lake a couple of times and caught both largemouth bass and crappie. Both species hit a top water Rapala. Prime bass habitat in this lake is limited to a few old stumps and lots of aquatic weeds. Public access is available at the south end of the lake near the huge, tall, old, concrete smoke stack. There is a concrete boat launching ramp. No internal combustion engines are allowed on the lake. Most of the pond can be fished from the shoreline. Bob Johansen

Cascade Lake, San Juan County, 171 acres: This lake is located in the heart of Moran State Park on beautiful Orcas Island and offers cutthroat, rainbow and kokanee as well as pumpkinseed. The lake has a rough boat launch on the north shore and could handle small trailers. Electric motors only, but the lake is small enough to row to any spot with ease. Rental boats and paddle boats are available and there is a wonderful beach area for the kids to play at. The lake is undeveloped save for the north shore road and camp sites. This campground is on the reservation system and in the summers it will be full so you must make reservations ahead of time.
