I had heard about this lake via the article on various bass lakes by Bob Johanson (sp?) sorry.
I got on the water about 1:00 I had a hard time finding this place due to Hwy 169 being closed at the Green river bridge, detours etc. After asking for directions I found it.
This looks like what would be a great bass fishery maybe on another outing. There was only one other Jon boat out for about 1.5 hours. I did not see them land anything, but didn't watch that carefully either. I skirted the entire lake in my float tube. I tried to fish slowly using senkos on the drop shot, jigs,.... went to some crappie jigs also. Trailed a worm under a bobber (that is my... "I can't take it anymore, I just wanna catch something" setup.LOL That yielded no bites either. Also slowly trolling a 2" watermelon colored grub is good for me... but not today.
I did not see a single rise on the water. The water was clear as glass most of the time. At the launch there was a ton of what I call "Waterdogs" or very large tadpoles. Acorn size heads with 3-4" bodies. They should make some bass very happy I"m sure. Some buddy can correct me on the waterdogs if you like.. I know that in places around Eastern WA. Water dogs can be bought, I think on one of the reservations... And I think what is truely a waterdog is like a 7"tadpole.
FYI if you come down here, don't be confused by the detour on Hwy 169. The lake is located right at the road closure on the South end of the closure.
