Influenced by the first sunny day in a while and a plant report from the WDFW of 6,045 ¼ lb RB planted on March 25th, I headed out to Lake Cassidy at around noon. The water was calm and there were 3 other boats on the lake and two folks fishing from the “launch.” On the water I discovered the fuse on my fish finder hot wire was toast so I was electronically challenged having no water temp or the ability to mark fish although I’d venture to say they were likely scattered all over the lake. I trolled several different small lures in several different colors, with and without a small flasher, and not one strike in 2 hours. My guess is the water is still too cold. I rated the trip a 2 because fishing was poor. Everything else was great. This isn’t my favorite lake but it was open and had received a good number of trout so I thought they would be biting. I was wrong.

Thanks for the report. The water in Cassidy is so stained that it should warm up very quickly as soon as we have several days of full sun.

Fishing is always tough at Cassidy but it it's the prettiest lake in the area because the shoreline is not packed with houses (too swampy). When I catch a fish that's injured but I can't keep it because it doesn't meet the legal size requirement, it's fun to see how long it takes for a bald eagle to swoop down and grab it out of the water. Most of the time it takes less than 10 minutes. Very cool.

Rainbows were hitting today, we caught fish on just about everything that we trolled. Water temp still cold @ 45 degrees. Stockers were tiny, we only caught 1 that went over 10 inches. Still a fun day on the water.
