Out for a day of exploring the area away from the net pens. Pretty lake, but zero fish or bites in about 1.5 hrs. using marshmallow and chunk of nightcrawler. Cast my homemade spinner for about 20 mins without a touch. Fished the access/camping area and walked the shoreline both ways. Sunny and a bit breezy at times. There were 2 guys trolling in pontoon boats and another on the shore that I talked to that said they fished for 3 hrs without a bite. I drove the Eagle Cove Rd down the lake and was surprised how big this lake is. Pretty bays and lots of good looking water. Too bad they don't allow camping other than at the resort and designated campground.
Rant mode. There is tons of garbage, cans, bottles, fishing junk etc all along the shoreline. I saw this at the net pens on Rufus and several other lakes on the reservation. It's not ok to just throw your crap on the ground no matter where you are! Please, Pick it up.
