I was up there in August. Been fishing there since I was a kid . I'd say it's a good spot. For the first several years I caught nothing, but after some practice I've got to where I can fish it. My technique lately is to kind of "troll" the fish from the bank. I usually don't use a bobber, and I bait with salmon eggs. What I mean by troll is not exactly the same as trolling in the traditional method, but rather a bank technique where you give it line and then reel it in ever so slowly. Give it some tugs. You have to make them want it. Once I got a technique going, it seems like every time I've gone up there I can pull at least 2 fish out of the water. It's always trout for me. I should mention they bite like clockwork, always seems to be about 3-5 PM with 4 o'clock being the happy hour, at least in my experience.

Try to beal a real fisherman with a fly and then let them go! bobber and worms or power bait is to fish in a barrel and a stick of dynamite....the skill oh the skill! Strait up busters...And the guy that got skunked...Its not the lake its you...adjust your bobber...inflate that worm..atleast the other guys caught fish with there chum...your the ultimate mark!
