Took a break from a work party at the cabin to try this lake with the
girls. As we arrived, a group of folks was just leaving with a bag
of 10 to 15 trout they had caught on worms from the flat on the North
shore. I tried the fly rod for a bit in between tending poles, but
didn't get anything. The fish might have been stirred up. I ran
power bait with a slip sinker for the girls, but we got no takers
with the bait sitting. I saw a trout lying on the bottom near where
Megan's pole was, and slowly reeled in towards it. As the bait went
by, it hammered it, and I let Megan reel it in. It was about 9".
Michelle also got about a 6"er when she was reeling in to check her
bait one time. Then it was time to go. I think motion may be the
key for this lake. I also think I may have done better with flies
more towards morning or evening. This lake is in a pretty area.

This lake is tougher to get into now, The forest service has closed the road about 2.5 mi =+- from the lake and its all up hill. It is now a 4 wheel drive trail classification. Never the less my family and I hiked up there and hammered the fish like described above. The fish seem much smaller than I remembered as a kid.
The forest service has no plan to reopen the road. be prepared for mosquitoes if there is no breeze. Take your lunch and enjoy the day. If you go early in the season expect snow at the lake. Enjoy
