Northwest Fishing Reports

I have a Navionics disk and I was looking at some local lakes, Silver, Liberty, etc. I stumbled upon a Shelly Lake.. Looks just West of Liberty Lake, South of I-90 and Sprague. Any locals know anything about this lake? Fish, boats, launch ramp? Any info is great. If there's Bass let's keep it a secret:-" NEVERMIND! Found some info on the lake...



"Shelley Lake (6 acres - Private) - Dinghies

This lake is only accessible to people who are members of the Shelley Lake Home owners association (see Shelley Lake Home Owners Assoc. at http://shelleylake.org). Shelley Lake is 5-15' deep and is --- acres in total surface area. This lake would be appropriate for kayaking and dinghy sailing. Maps: To view a map click on www.mapquest.com and type in Shelley Lake, WA. To see the lake you will need to pan in and select aerial view"[sneaky]

Never fished it but would love to. I heard there are nice bass there though.

Looks like I'll have to make friends with somebody who lives there :-"

I recently added a section that has Plat Maps for many counties in the state. It is an excellent tool to use when trying to find out if an area is private or has public access. I checked Shelley Lake and it is all private, belonging to the association and one other land owner.

Reflection Lake up north is the same way. I have always wanted to fish that lake, but I must respect the land owners rights and privacy.

I doubt I'll ever be able to fish this lake, they pay top dollar for privacy and I don't plan on ruining it:)
