Gave the rating a 3, but that depends on your own expectations. Two of us caught perhaps 15 or 20 SMB, a couple pretty large ones near 16", but all released. We were targeting Walleye, and we caught...

We fished Long Lake for the first time this year. It is clear that we missed the "peak" period, but I did catch the biggest Crappie I have seen in Washington State so far.
I noticed that the SMB a...

Fished the Kettle arm of Roosevelt on the 4th. The water has not been in the arm until recently, so we did not know what to expect.
We observed no SMB, but we did catch a Northern Pikeminnow, and ...

Fished this gorgeous little lake for the first time. I knew it had LMB, but the rest is hear say. I saw a few decent bass, but all we caught, and most of what we saw, was very small, less then 8".

Took the family out camping for Friday and Saturday. It was nice to get three generations in the same place, without cell phones or computers. Hummmmmmmm, I wonder if that impacted my rating? Oh We...

I thought I'd provide some input on this body of water. I was able to get my 17-6 boat into it this last week, but I can see that I won't be able to as the water starts to drop more.
The water was...

After we grew tired of Coffee Pot, I and my son decided to stop and try out Twin Lakes. I have driven past the entrance many times and this time we wanted to see what it was like.

We tried to go into the section of the lake the farthest from the boat launch, but the water is the lowest I have seen for this date in years. It is funny, Lake Creek is still flowing, which I have n...

I thought it would be a good time to let people know that the water is down about 18" from last year's high level. In fact, it is already starting to be difficult to launch some of the larger boats.

Ouch, I suppose it had to happen, but to get skunked on my favorite lake hurts. This was by far the worse trip of the year.
I and my wife got a late start and did not get on the lake until about 8...

I have read a few reports about Long Lake so far this year, so I thought it would be fun to go out and try to learn a little more about the lake myself. This is my first trip out of 9 Mile State Park...

Fished hard for about 12 Bass between two of us. The water surface temperature is in the middle 70's, the bass are 90% off the beds, and there are bass fry in the weeds. Our top bass was about 18.75...

I have not reported since 4/25/09, in part because at least one party was upset that I post too often on Rock, so I will combine several weeks into one report. LOL
Rock Lake has been very good thi...

OK, time to confess, we did fantastic. Two of us taught 47 trout, average of 3 pounds a piece. We taught them all about hooks, nets, and a release. I'll bet that Rock is dead for several days now. ...

I thought that it would be good to update people on Rock Lake.
First, the water ran from 34 degrees in the inlet to a high of 39 degrees F at one point. The water is generally very clear, except ...
