I always see this lake from the road driving from Republic and wanted to give it a try. Locals say there are big largemouth and big trout in this lake. Ice just left so I figured me being from Texas, I would slay the bass. That didnt happen, I threw spinners, rooster tails, and my favorite senko worms on a texas rig. I tried this for 2 hours and then decided to target trout with powerbait. I threw in some rainbow color where the mouth of the lake feeds the sanpoil river. I gave it 30 minutes of sitting in the rain and sleet and pulled in an 18" bow. I think the bass are there, I was just a little early for the hot bite. I'll keep trying. For those of you wondering, it is about 20 acres and just south of Curlew Lake next to a burned down wood mill. This is the headwaters for the sanpoil which flows alongside hwy 21 through the reservation and dumps into the columbia near Keller.

I've thought about fishing that before, but never have. I used to have to go to the old mill site to collect soil samples and forgot my rod and reel each time. The lumber mill didnt burn down, it was pieced apart and sold years ago. I didnt know that there was public access either. Is the gate at the mill entrance still there and locked?
