My son and I had a few hours to play on the water. Arrived around 6AM and went on the hunt for bass, tried some of the usual haunts(docks,pads) but not even a nibble. The trout were active on the surface but we were only trying for bass. Tossed a few cranks and even a frog(Kermit). Off the water by 8AM...would have "Stayed and Played" but the rains got heavy and we were getting soaked. Sorry, unknown water temps but the weather was pouring rain. Had another run in with the beaver here, I tried to snap a pic but then he got camera shy.

Also forgot to mention...WARNING-beware of the hole to the left side of the launch and about 4-5feet out.
It has the potential to cause some damage. Its not very visible and you usually find it when your boat trailer drops hard
a couple feet.

Kevinb , the hole your talking about I think is a log of some sort . I have been to the lake my self a few times last year. and 1 time this year with my 11yr . I live like 3min away from there , about the little trout rising there , tie up a green woolyburger / black and they will hit befor you know it! thats what seemed to work best for us. I have heard there are some phatys bass up in that lake yet to find out : )~ ! thanks for the report

Well, at least you were out in the elements trying for bass. I fished that little lake 22 times between 1980 and 1996. Caught lots of bass with the biggest boated being 4 pounds, 2 ounces. Had a monster break me off once. I also caught several really nice crappie about this time of year on surface Rapalas while casting for bass. Tight lines, BJ

Thank you snake and Bob,This is a little jem of a lake and sits off the radar for most folks. I live in downtown Puyallup
so the drive is about 10 minutes....PERFECT!!! Theres some good bass in here but I havn't had the best of luck(yet)
but have seen many. I'll be fishing here a bit more this year and on the hunt for bass...actually,pretty much anything for
that matter.
