only advice is years old and for trout. back when i used to fish this lake with my uncle. i was only about 13. we would troll a wedding ring with a chartrouse power egg and a threaded worm. standing on the dock look to the back left corner. theres a hole there and i remember the trout used to be gorged from small worms. anyways they bite good over there from what i remeber. sorry i couldnt be more help!

been there one time in a boat, only fished for bass for about an hour and got a decent 2.5lber on a spinnerbait in some pads. i'd probably try flippin the pads with creature baits and jigs, if you go early enough i bet topwater will work.

thanks guys. my friend convinced me to hit up kapowsin instead because he heard it was doing well so we went there and rented a boat for $35 for the day. ended up catching and releasing dozens of bluegill, perch, and rock bass. all on bobber and worm except one rock bass i caught on a white spinnerbait. I believe we only caught 1 largemouth which was only 5 in long or so. We tried to go for trout of the bottom, but too many weeds and no anchor meant lots of snags. didnt want to troll with wedding rings like a dock fisherman suggested because of all the stumps and in case we ran out of juice in the battery.
