This is actually a report for what is known as, "Lake Martha" It is not located within the list of lakes via the this website. I am not talking about the Martha lakes which we all know, Warm Beach, Mill Creek, etc.
This, "Lake Martha" is an odd-ball little lake that is SO darn hard to get to, that I have no problem giving its name out there.
Lake is about 1/4 mile N. of Lake Cassidy. It is completely surrounded by dense brush, trees, etc. My entry is via parking on Hwy 9, then bush wacking directly East. There are some particular entry points to the bushes, if you care to know, you can PM me.
Anyhoo... Forged the bush with "MotoBoat" i.e. fishing partner. Got on the water about 3:00.
This day was a very slow day for myself. I only caught I think, 2 dink LMB, and toyed with 2 blue-gill.
MotoBoat probably caught/released a dozen fish, mostly dink LMB, and blue-gill. Although he did catch a perch as well. It was a multi-species day. If I count what appeared to be a small catfish which was sticking tai section 1st out of my dink LMB (mouth)... then I could say I caught a small catfish as well.

In the past year or two, I did catch one of the largest trout I've ever caught, out of this lake. Fish was maybe 20" and 3-4 lb. As I said today was slow for me, and dink fish. We did have one of those darn moments which make you have to keep coming back. A very large fish came out of the water, just 25' from us. We were in float tubes. I saw the fish and believe it was a LMB, prob. 4-5lb.
This lake is very dense with downed wood, bird habitat built by someone. Very peaceful. I had a friend from this website who caught some black crappie in it once when we went out.
Found a Geocache as well, which I had actually signed back in 2011 with my son.
