We decided to drop in on Roses Lake for an hour or two before finding a place to camp for the night. It was hot again - usual for the Eastside. We tried trolling for trout, but got no bites. Without the fishfinder, we couldn't tell if there were even fish in the lake. Most of the half dozen other boats were going for bass. So we went to the edges. The lake is ringed with tall sedge. Others were not catching many, so I wasn't expecting much. I'm new at this, mostly practicing dropping my lure right to the edge of the reeds. I got a couple of bass interested and one took it - a small 10 incher - but at least it's a start.
