Fish'd from 12:00pm-4:30 pm using a a white marabou and tinsle'd jig. every spot that I fish'd i was able to get at least 10 crappie with the north end being the most productive and had a few 30 fish 30 cast's moments. I fish'd all the way around this lake as I have not fish'd it in a few years, the total count was (123) crappie averaging 7-8" with (3)-11" and (1)-10", lots of small bluegill with several that went 9" some decent perch, lots of tiny bass with one that went 13" Saw a few that would go 3lbs. (1)-13" trout. they were jumping all over and the bait fisher's were catching them top and bottom. The crappie are very easy to get to bite except for the bigger ones that were barely lipping the jigs of which I lost several. this lake is loaded with crappie and had a recent trout plant so it would be a good spot to take the kids. you know you had a good day of catching panfish when your hand starts to look like you've been washing dish's to long. I c&r'd all of them but hopefully I'll be back in a few days to take pic's and get a mess of them for a fish fry.

Nice report, Panfisher. Sounds like an outstanding fishery. I must put that lake on my lakes to visit. Thank you

Wow, what a nice day. I have not been there in a long time as the crime spree has sky rocketed. I wish I felt safe there because that is a great lake.

That sounds fun. When I have an hour or so I enjoy getting out of the office and catching panfish in the ponds around YakiVegas. Thanks for your posts, we'll have to wet a line sometime.

I park'd in the lot by the bridge's as there is alot of traffic that goes by from I-82 and the walk is about just as far if not closer to the north end.
