The lake got poisoned again with the chemical Sonar, this stuff says it doesnt affect the fish but you can tell it does. Anyways, I started fishing with a flick shake worm in green pumpkin pepper hoping for largemouth but knew I was going to get nothing but rock bass. I got a lot of rock bass as they were starting to move / or were on beds. Most of them were between 5 and 10 inches with a few big ones thrown in here and there. I decided to start fishing a fly at around 9 am and tied on a brown woolly bugger with some flash. It worked pretty well got about 3 rock bass on that until I switched over to a black pistol pete and they were all over it. The trick was to find submerged wood, they were all surrounding. Cast out next to the wood and work the fly in at a medium pace. I got one decent large mouth at the north end of the lake about 2 pounds but nothing else but rock bass. The carp were all over the lake too and I got a look at some big ones in a school in shallow water.

Hit the lake around 7 tried a few different lures and it turned out to be a spinnerbaits day caught 1st fish around 730 and it was at leasts a 5 lbs is say 6 tho. Caught 3 more dinks under a pound and dad finally decided to switch to spinnerbaits then he started catching them too prolly caught around 10 before 1pm decided to hit pattison next but no luck there. The big one jumped out of my hands right as I unhooked her so no pic it's just a fish story now lol all in all my best day bass fishing ever and my biggest bass ever caught

What a beautiful day to get out on the water...Headed out to troll the middle across from the boat launch and hit two 14 inch trout right off the bat on an orange and green roostertail with an orange blade and some garlic oil on it... Then hit the hole behind the bridge next to the fallen tree just messin around with bobber and worm and killed it on the rock bass, probably 20 or so...we were just killing time till the high noon so we could go looking for the big hawgs in the brighter sun...oh yeah, found them all over the lake starting beds....headed back to the lillypad chanel in the back and tossed a topwater frog out by a log...BAM!!!! had a big one hit it, and take it down...set my hook, and my old ass frayed line broke at the knot....I yelled a colorful metaphore accross the lake and moved on...( The bass still has my damn frog in its mouth, as it did not come back up...)...fished around some more with no real luck after 2pm...and trolled back to the launch and landed two more trout...fun day...all fish were catch and released as always....Not a bad day...

Headed out to Long lake this morn on my boat straight to the channel. fished worm and bobber, as well as some plastics. I cought a crapload of rock bass and a couple trout on the worm and bobber. But never got a single hit on the plactics or my jigs. I saw some Hawgs, but I never got a bite. I could really use a couple pointers on Largemouth bass fishing here in Washington. I have fished alot in the southern states, but that is obviously a bit differen fishing than here. I am aware that I will have to work more up here for them, but I am getting skunked boys... Can anyone oint out a couple hot spots, and give me a couple ideas on bait, lure, and presentation, and what time of day is best? I don't expect to get all your secrets, but I catch and release and am just a sportsman learning the areas..ant help is appreciated very much...

Tight lines all...

Got a late start fishing this evening boat lauch was busy. Fished for 1hr 15 min then had to go in. I caught three nice rainbows the water was nice and weather was good.
