HIt Forbes lake over in Kirkland near Costco this morning. I was in my float tube. The lilly pads are already quite heavy on this lake, kind of strange. Lake has LOTS of cover. At least one beaver pond, and a lot of down wood.
Started off with drop shotting. Not much action there... Then went to the 4-5" dark Senkos. Picked up my first lmb. A dink,under 1lb. Back to drop shotting, and got 3 more dinks.
This is such a great little urban lake from at least a visual/fishy looking perspective. In the 3x I've fished it I have never caught anything of any size, but I have hope. There are some real shallow swampy areas that I can't help but want to spend more time on with coming spawn. There is an incoming creek on the N. side of the lake, and a small outflow creek on the S. side. Last year I pulled the largest lmb out of the mouth of the outgoing creek.
