With Cascade Lake water levels so low that we can't launch the Lund, we decided to try Mountain Lake. First time there in maybe 4 years!

Got the boat in around 5pm today, got out around 8. Headed towards the dam under pretty normal Mountain Lake conditions. Little windy but not bad. Used a Super Duper to hook 4 fish, one got off at the...

My wife and I fished Mountain Lake for a couple of hours on Saturday and Sunday. No luck on Saturday, and the cold eventually kicked us off the lake. Sunday, was a little nicer, and we got a couple ...

58 degrees. Some dry fly action happening--mostly in places where the wind pushes insects...a quill brown in #14 or #16 tossed towards shore is hard to beat if fish are working an area. Nymph and indi...

The last couple weeks of April were good to me on this lake; nothing over 16" but quite a few action-packed days. I usually fish in the afternoon/early evening, trolling a small muddler or a woolly bu...

Went up once the last week of February and caught and released an 11" cutt on a #18 parachute Adams. Fish are coming to chironomids in the evening, as soon as the sun's off the water, making for chill...

Been fishing Mountain darn near every day, picking up cutts to 12", with an occasional 14", on slow-trolled buggers and muddlers. Not many people here, and I had the lake's 3.9 mile contour to mys...

Mountain is warming up--have had luck with a size 14 or 16 olive-bodied paradun toward evening--mostly smaller cutts and silvers, but an occasional 12" cutt. I am yet to catch a rainbow out of this l...

I fished for a couple of hours in the morning (6am) without success. I did see several fish rising as I rowed my thin-bladed spinner around, perhaps a fly-fisher would have had better luck...
