6/27/2011 10:16:00 AMI love bass fishing Alder. The bass in that lake are just footballs with the most gorgeous colorings. But after spring when the lake starts dropping I have a heck of a time finding them. I figure they either suspend or go deep. In mid July of last year I did catch and release five largemouth from 2 1/2 to 6.2 vertical jigging on the old railroad bridge which was under 32 feet of water at the time. I came across the spot quite by accident and spotted the bridge and the eyebrows of bass stacked on it on my graph recorder. But fishing deep is usually much tougher, so far more often its been a fish here and there scattered along the shore. Not much reward when I'm driving from south of Seattle to get there. Keep the reports from Alder coming.

6/27/2011 4:31:00 PM@ rickydbasser, I agree. I really struggle in that lake but it has to be one of my most favorite lakes to fish. You see so many fish and the ones you catch are just chunks and so healthy and fat. I don't think that they lack food there.

6/28/2011 10:26:00 AMThanks for the report arnie. I've been doing to many musky trips this year but the family and I are planning a little bass/campout
at Alder. I'm surprised that the lake level is still down a bit but I suppose 9 feet shouldn't be to much of an issue.
Thanks again
