Thought we'd start fishing a bit earlier than normal. Didn't help us catch more fish, but sure had fun.
Fished 9-3:30pm. Windy all day which made it almost downright chilly. Water temps 66.2 and overcast all day.
Actually pretty nice temperature-wise aside from the wind.

For a holiday weekend, the Park was pretty slow due to lack of sun we'd guess. However, there were probably five boats fishing all day, which is a lot for this lake.

K. got the first fish, a nice cuttroat with a lot of red on his side. Lost him boating him. K. got two small largemouth bass in total and three trout in total. The last one is shown. Looks like a happy camper to us!

P. had no luck on trout, but did find 3 LMB and 4 pumpkinseeds. All smalls.

I got the most fish trophy. 3 trout, 10 pumpkinseed and 2 small largemouths. My best trout came on panfish gear with a tiny piece of worm and a bobber. That was fun. The sunfish all looked pregnant.

We think the rains of yesterday and the storms moving in forecast for tomorrow probably slowed what we thought would be a productive day. But all in all, a fun fishing day and hot dogs and potato salad kept us fed.

CarpMouth... Nice report, thanks. Forty years ago my father-in-law and I fished Cascade regularly for several years. Caught some bruiser cutthroat of 20" to 22" inches. Used to troll plug-cut herring and Canadian Wonder spoons around a small reed-filled island there. Is it still there? Also, we used to limit on 11" to 13" Kokanee, trolling along the cliffs at the far end (south?) of the lake. Are there still Kokanee in the lake? PTL!
