Battle Ground Lake: Location: 45.80291N 122.48694W
Arrived about 13:00. As I'm new to this lake, I took the time to walk around this 30 acre patch of fish. About 20 bank fishermen. The dock had about ten.
Climate was overcast with light rain squalls. Water temp 52F. Water clarity was poor, visibility about 2-3 ft.
BUT, folks were catching rainbows! Effective tackle seemed to be pretty simple: cast a lead drop weight as far as you could get it...with a 3 foot leader to the hook. Bait was uniformly chartreuse PowerBait or worms.
I watched a couple limit out on 8-12" fish. No top water action at all.
I'll come back with the right equipment!
