Spent the weekend at Potholes. Pretty slow fishing. We managed to hook into 3 Largies, best two shown here (First one caught on a BrushHog and the other on a Creature bait). We also hooked into a 2.5lb smallie amongst 20+ dink smallies. Sweet lake but would've liked more action. Water temp was around 74-75 all weekend with constantly changing conditions. We'll be back.

Dez - we didn't really get to fish as much of the lake as we would've liked (we got rained off the lake Friday and we had to entertain the ladies as well). So we didn't fish, or even notice for that matter, any beaver huts (although, now I can see one in a picture I took of the lake). All BigMouth's were caught in about 5-10 ft of water. My first one came about 15 out of the brush to hit my creature after I yanked it out of his mouth on my first hook set. I don't recall the bite dying off after 9 am but thats mainly because it was slow, making it hard to tell when exactly the bite stopped. Smallies were hitting all day long. You fish this lake much?

Looks like you were fihising lend coolieam i right? there are nice fish in there but i dont think the huts are in there. I am certin that there are quite a few huts back in the sand dunes, Way way back in. Need a nice boat for that though. Not like my lil 12 foot aluminum.
Ya those are nice healthy look fish. No smallies huh? Top waters working at all?

bazzdude - we caught plenty of dink smallies, along with a couple 2-3lbers. We only had one strike on a topwater (buzzbait).

jrister - Banks Lake is awesome! Edgeran pulled a lunker largie out of there last summer. Eastern WA kicks arse this time of year!
