Posting this in the Secret Lake section, coz this lake isn't listed in the Index. This particular Fish Lake is just South of Rimrock.

Arrived about 10:30. Fish is set back off the road about 1/4 mile. Little more than a pond really, but I wanted to try it, because I had read it's stocked with Twin Lakes cutts, a trout I've never caught. It is, but it's also stocked with Eastern Brook .

I used my old standby, inflated worm on an 18" leader. Quickly found out that for such a small waterbody, Fish is surprisingly deep. The first few fish I caught were little brookies, all of them released. It wasn't until about noontime that I caught my first cutt. Just a little guy, but WHOA, what a pretty fish! Neon undersides, and a jaw slash so bright, I thought at first that I had gill hooked him. Pretties trout I've seen in a long time.

All in all took home two cutts and one brook that was too badly injured to let go. I probably won't be returning to Fish lake any time, but one of these days, I'm just gonna have to head out to Eastern Washington, and hit one of the lakes that has larger versions of these cutts.

And I will also be exploring some of the other Yakima Valley lakes in the not-too-distant future.
