I'm starting to wonder if they stock this lake at all anymore. So many people tell me they used to catch tons of trout at this lake. My girlfriend tried spinners from the bank. My daughters were bottom fishing with several different baits. I tried trolling and didn't even see anything on the fishfinder.

We went to Riffe several times this summer as well, and the only thing we got were bullhead and pikeminnow.

Anyone have a link for stocking reports for this lake?

I contacted the Cowlitz project, and got a response from their Senior Fisheries Biologist:
"Riffe Lake has not been planted with fish for many years, however, the juvenile coho and steelhead migrating downstream from the upper Cowlitz River basin grow and are caught in Riffe Lake. Mayfield Lake is stocked with catchable trout each year on an every-other-week schedule from April through the end of August."

The action for silvers around memorial weekend is pretty good. Just fish near or off the bridge.

Hay jbball50, thanks for the info on the web site for fish plants. I get pretty P-O ed going from lake to lake and no one knows when the last plant was done so I'm just fishing blind. I'll be sure to check this one out.
