I met another member in Cheney to show him how to find Bonnie Lake. We arrived at the launch ~7 and were surprised to see so many people there. A group was heading to the island to camp and at least 4 others set to fish.
I warn everyone that it's a fairly long paddle up Rock Creek. Thankfully, Devin had small, maneuverable kayak. I only banged into the sides of the creek a few times.
We stopped off at the rocks near the southwest corner of the lake and started fishing. I hit fish right away using nightcrawlers on the bottom. I kept moving north until coming near the outcrop of rocks. I tried the east side but found nothing. The bite disappeared around 10:00. I made it home with the 8 pictured. I tossed back 2 - 3 small perch and 1 largemouth (about 12 inches).
I'll let Devin tell you about his adventures and decide if it was worth the drive and paddle.
