Unfortunately I hadn't watched the news and I planned of fishing Summit lake for the first time. I drove down there to find out the lake was closed due to toxic algae. Only thing I could think of doing was drive back to Ward lake since I have been having so much fun fishing there lately. I arrived at the lake around noon and fished for a couple hours. The fish were holding at 20-25 feet deep. I think I hooked my first fish in less than ten minutes of fishing. It was a beautiful Sunny day on the water I was using lucky craft lures and Nerka bugs which is a kokanee and trout lure that I make. I fished till about 2:30 and the fish were biting the whole time. I decided I am going to start doing go pro video on my future fishing trips. I uploaded a few of the fish I caught on youtube. Feel free to like or subscribe to my channel. I am sure the videos will get better with time as there is a learning curve to them. I am happy to share any information about where am fishing and how to catch the fish.

Very nice report, thanks! Guess I should have gone there on Saturday instead of Drano Lake in the Columbia Gorge, got skunked on the springers. :-( Maybe I'll check it out next weekend, so the fish bite stays hot pretty much all day there I guess, nice! Look for me in my Smokercraft 15 ft, with the 50 HP Honda outboard if you are out on the water. Tight lines my friend!

Yeah, I have been there morning, noon, and late afternoon, and the action is pretty darn steady. We had a few slow downs maybe like 30 min with out a bite, the double hook up and stuff. If I see you out there I'll say hi. I am thinking to making a trip to Meridian see if the there are any kokanee biting there. I fished that lake two years ago and it was fantastic didn't get to go there last year.
