Omak was Sloooooowwwwww too (for us anyway). Absolutley nobody else fishing on the lake except us until afternoon. Then one guy showed up, a local who said he fishes there regularly) and he stuck around for a couple hours then left, no fish. He said it had been slower than normal for this time of year.
I caught one on a white bugger, another on a green bugger, then nothing for a couple hours. I feel it has just been too hot for a few cold nights to turn the fish on. Give it a couple weeks, then it should get better. Or else I just stink, which is possible.
Gary and I decided to salvage the day and we headed to Little Goose lake. OH MAN, WHAT A PLACE!!!! If you have never been there, you must just see it once. It is Mullet Head Heaven!
It is just a few acres, under 5 I'll bet. Cattle pond, think MUD and Cow pies. Nothing but trash, about a hundred empty worm and "Powerbait" (Shoot, powerbait must be as popular as methamphetamine with those knuckleheads, don't they use anything else? Meth, and powerbait, what a combo. Then off to rip off the cars at Lenice!.)
Anyway, the place looks like a trailer park after a tornado. But wait... a fish just rised.
Felt the water, cold! cloudy, but cold!
We put on our waders and fins, picked our way through the broken glass, rusty metal "things", and cow poop. Put our tubes in and had a blast catching small rainbows and brookies! Amazing, poor trout, subject to those conditions. Well, a most unlikely spot to catch trout, looks more like sucker and trash fish water.
Nearby there is a Lahontan lake, we did not try it. Way too windy there, but only a mile away.
Good Luck to all!

While your post may be almost 4 years old..... I must say that I totally enjoyed it, and I understood the Meth/Powerbait/ Mullet connection. Sometimes taking a road trip out to those places is more like leaving the planet. LOL LOL!!
