We hit the water at about 4:00 and paddled the canoe down to the west end where we could see fish jumping. FYI, if you are bringing a canoe pack light, it is a pretty steep hike to the water. We fished that end for a while and drifted back to the launch on the east end. I was fly fishing with a renegade and mosquito and ended up picking up 3 fish about 10 inches or so. Boatman was fishing with worms and spoons and ended up with 3 fish and a crawdad. We could never locate the big fish but it was a pleasant day on the lake.

It was great to see a report for this lake. We used to camp there in college all the time. That was back before all the jerk litterbugs forced the forest service to convert it to day-use only. There's nice facilities there now, but you're right -- it's quite a hike down to the water now.

The water stays c-c-cold very late into the summer and as I recall it has a pretty deep hole in the middle. We never had much luck fishing there either. I think your fish there is bigger than anything I ever caught there! I usually came home with hangovers instead.

We did our annual fishing/camping (just the guys) trip there in '07 and used float tubes. We got up early (you can camp there now, nice little campground) and were using mosquito flies. So many cutthroats jumping you could almost club 'em with your flyrod!! Great lake, very serene and zen-like! Great to see a post about it.
