This was my first time here so it was mostly an exploration trip in my Hobie Revo 11 kayak. Mostly trolled, but threw a fly near the structure on the east side of the lake. Caught a bunch of small perch and squawfish trolling a black wooley bugger, then switched to a yellow wedding ring on the spinning rod for the troll back to the takeout place. Action was consistant, but fish were mighty small. Still fun to catch on the light gear though. Lots of weeds in water lesss than 10 ft deep, but I put up with them in case something lurking there. I didn't see any sign of salmon yet, but I never got deeper than 25 ft of water. The lake opens up on Aug 15. Toured up the Sammamish River and no fish showing there. The weather was excellent and I had a good time breaking the fishing gear on my new Hobie.
