After reading about this lake here I decided to give it a crack this morning in hopes of landing some Crappie or perhaps even some of the bas I've heard about. My intention was to get there early, but long story short I didn't arrive until about 9am. Fished around the dock for over an hour with no strikes. I tried a small Crappie jig below a bobber in the pads mostly, but also switched between just about every bass bait your could imagine. Explored around lake quite a bit and noticed that there were probably half a dozen spots that were reachable if you had some rubber boots or didn't mind getting your feet wet. I will have to come back in the evening soon.

There was a couple there when I arrived and they didn't get any strikes either, but did get one follow from a decent sized bass.

I did see a pair of Osprey's diving for fish and the blackberries are ripening so the day was not a complete loss :)

Thanks for the info. I work up the street so I'll have to carve up some time after work one of these days. Anyone know if the fish bite year around?

With a few exceptions I C&R everything I catch & release anything I catch and hope that they fatten up and I catch them again. My biggest pet peeve is folks who keep literally everything they pull up. Twice now I've seen folks in Kenmore with buckets full of 5" perch and pumpkinseed.

larson is stacked with crappie and a lot of small ones = more competition for food which means that it is much harder for the fish to get bigger. i say take whatever you want within the regulated limits. fish populations in small lakes like this that aren't controlled often result in a ton of dinks. i never keep anything because i don't eat fish but i say ignore the people that try to tell you to catch and release. the laws are there for a reason.
