WEST MEDICAL HAS THE REP. OF BEING A GREAT OPENING DAY LAKE. WELL IT'S NOT RUMOR, IT IS TRUE,TRUE,TRUE. MYSELF AND TWO OF MY FRIENDS WERE THERE AT OPENING DAY 2001. WE HAD EVERY KIND OF WEATHER YOU COULD THINK OF. WE EVEN HAD TO PULL ON SHORE, BUILD A FIRE TO WAIT OUT THE LIGHTNING AND HAIL COMING THROUGH BUT, WE ALL LIMITED OUT THAT DAY AND ALL 3 OF US BROUGHT IN SOME NICE 5# & 6# TROUT. I CONTINUED TO FISH THE LAKE THE REST OF THE SEASON. IT HAD IT'S GOOD DAYS AND BAD DAYS. I DID NOTICE THAT ALL OF THE LUNKERS I HAD TAKEN FROM THE LAKE HAD BEEN WHEN THE WEATHER WAS AT IT'S WORST. TROLLING WITH A DOUBLE GREEN WEDDING RING AND THE FATEST WORM I COULD FIND WORKED THE BEST. I ALSO FISHED FROM THE SHORE IN THE EVENINGS AN HOUR INTO THE DARK. I USED A WHITE PLASTIC TWIN TAIL GRUB TO CATCH MY BIGGEST LUNKER OF THE YEAR RIGHT AFTER I WAS BEATEN WITH A HEAVY RAIN. I DO RECOMMEND THIS LAKE HIGHLY. JUST WATCH OUT FOR THE WEATHER IT IS UNFORGIVING.
