We arrived at 10 am to an empty parking lot. Calm lake with water like glass, a cormorant, wings spread to dry, silhouetted against the reflection of the morning sky on the water. Looked like the star...

Looking for a smaller local lake for Geojay to try out his new float tube, we settled on Killarney or Geneva. We found a serious scum problem going on at the Geneva launch so opted for Killarney, wher...

We made our way from Antilon to the last lake of our great fishing week - Cle Elum Lake. We were hoping to camp there, but found that Wish-Poosh is closed due to storm damage, leaving only one campgro...

We found a spot to camp above Antilon Lake. Dropped the kayak in the water at 7pm. I should mention that this is quite a rough launch, best for hand carry. You'd definitely need 4WD if launching from ...

We decided to drop in on Roses Lake for an hour or two before finding a place to camp for the night. It was hot again - usual for the Eastside. We tried trolling for trout, but got no bites. Without t...

We didn't get up too early again and got out on the lake about 8am. We were fishing blind because our fishfinder broke a wire the night before. It's out of commission until I find the time here at hom...

We headed back thru Gillette to Thomas about noon. We didn't have much time and just sampled the south shore, so any rating I give this lake won't hold much water. Lol There weren't as many panfish he...

Trolled down to the south end, hooking 2 or 3 trout and keeping one. Sherry's trout looked more healthy than Gillette's, with only a few parasites. Switching to worms, we cast along the shore and got ...

We arrived 7am and trolled on our way south to Sherry. Landed 3 or 4 trout around 11" that were infested with copepods so we released them. Bite was a little slow on our hard lures.

We camped at Noisy Creek and got up a little later than I wanted - out on the lake at 8. Lake was smooth as glass, making for easy paddling. Unfortunately, the trout weren't biting on our hard lures. ...

Wildcat Lake was our destination on Saturday. We got a late start and arrived about 10am. Still, only 2 vehicles parked at the WDFW ramp meant only 2 boats on the water. A couple more arrived while we...

After Knuppenburg Lake, we drove up the pass to camp at Dog Lake. We wanted more than one little fish for dinner, so we got the kayak in the water about 6:30pm, and paddled towards the talus-sloped mo...

Stopped in at Trout Lake at 3pm. Fisher just pulling his boat out of the water had caught his limit. We put in and he was right - the fish were biting. Not much size to them so we C&R most of them. Pa...

We took the kayak out on Alder Lake to see if the kokanee are biting yet, or if anything else was, for that matter. We paddled all the way to the end of the no-wake arm - about 5 miles and only got 2 ...
