In the lake first thing in the morning when the park opened up. The lake was in beautiful shape, almost like glass.

We had our first fish on only about a minute after getting set up. Yesterday we were getting them a little deeper, abut 40' but today they were higher up first thing in the morning, 35'.

We caught a total of 20 fish today and lost 4. The action was better than the day before. That is because we had the fish dialed in from the previous day on the lake. We caught a few nice fish first thing in the morning but then they decided to shrink in size and we were getting small fish, 8 - 12" and fishing catch and release.

So we headed out into deeper water and started fishing deeper, 60 - 70' and then started landing nicer fish.
We were using gods tooth spoons, Rapala Blue Fox Minnow with spinner, Rapala broken back minnow, 1 5/8" Hotshot, in chartreuse color.

This was not the day to get to the boat launch late!! When we left a park ranger was only letting in a boat after one left the park launch site. But then what does one expect on a 90 degree day. People with boats were backed up quite a ways towards Issaquah waiting to get access to the ramps.

It was a good time with the fishing pretty much steady all day. Had a double today and we were able to rid the lake of one of those nasty discarded water skiing tow ropes, 3rd one this year! All great fun.
