6/5/2016 1:21:00 PMThe lake holds some nice sized largemouth. I've broke off a 5 to 6lb fish last week off my kayak. The others were 2-3 lbs. It's a deep lake with a lot of structure. I don't think it gets a ton of pressure due to the lack of access. Largemouth have all spawned now. You'll see bass fry cruising the lilly pads. I've had better luck fishing overcast days using both Sekos with a little bit of weight and some on a crank baits https://www.facebook.com/KayakFishingWashington/

Then for sure along the lilly pads on that north side up to the first dock. It's been a long time since I fished that lake. My enthusiasm for it went south at some point after they beautified the shoreline along that north end. Years ago before the path was placed in all that shoreline was accessible. I'd always catch some nice hold over trout but it's been a long time. Then again Lake Ballinger also use to have a lot of LM Bass. Probably still does near the island area.

6/6/2016 8:54:00 AMI think we are in the post spawn slump. The fish have moved deeper to recover from the spawn. I caught a few fish in Haller and Bitter on Saturday with one at 1.5 lbs. I have caught a few decent fish in Echo this year and saw one big mama at 4+.
