Started our Turkey Day fishing at Bradley,had intended to hit Fivemile but due to time I decided to save 5 minutes of drive time. Started targeting perch off the dock using Gulp maggots(the little ones) We only could hook a couple a little buggers.
Saw many other anglers out there catching a ton of trout so we decided to target them instead. Using the green powerbait, it was only moments until we got our first rainbow(around 13 inches) few minutes later and the 2nd hooked a little bigger. Anyone who was fishing the bottom was catching fish,bobbers not working so well.
I haven't checked the WDFW website yet but word around the lake was it was just stocked.
Weather was cold, overcast with light showers and a slight breeze.
I have my doubts but I have heard of people catching smallmouth in here, I have fished this lake for years, has anyone else heard this claim? I know theirs lmb's, but they are tough to catch, at least for me LOL
