West Medical is a real mystery to me this year. Normally after the usual slow Opener, I start catching fish on a steady basis. Today I had two bites and saw only one fish taken. Boat anglers seemed to have the same bad success. "It's like they have lockjaw", reported one boat angler.

We have been baffled as well. Went out for opener and limited. Been twice since and cannot even buy a bite. I have only seen a couple fish taken and they have all been on flies. I have to believe there is plenty of good eating that the fish are just not hungry enough to take what we have to offer.

Really? I had very good lucky the past times I been out there but I was fly fishing. What are you using for bait? My brother inlaw used the rainbow power bait (salmon egg scent) and caugt a couple off the shore as well. Try to have at least a 3 feet leader line. They seem to be up high right now dew to the may fly hatch. GL FISHING;)

Oh, I tried a little bit of everything; including long and short leaders, different shades/types of PowerBait, marshmallow & worm....only two very quick bites. A very good elder Asian fisherman reported, "ZERO" bites. He had limited a week or so ago fishing worms on the bottom. At best, I think the average fisherman will find West Medical a crap shoot.

I wonder why it isn't posted? State doesn't recommend eating fish caught in this lake..... http://www.ecy.wa.gov/biblio/0803104.html
