Boats with electric motors are allowed. No bait is allowed. Its been a while since Ive fished it but I did well when I went. Caught several in the 16 to 20 inch range.

i was up there last spring, not to fish just to walk on there path and went out on the dock. saw a couple boats out there and some float tubers.. the real suprise was looking into the water i saw a trout that was about 5-6 pounds crusing the shallows eating something. that sucker was pretty big. really nice lake. i was planning on checking it out this year.

thanks for the info on the boat do you need a permit? if so where can I get one. hope the snow melts enough to get in soon. BASSMANN :cheers: CANT WAITE

I now understand that a NW Forest Pass is all you need. You can get one at Joes before you go.

I fished it once a few years ago with our son and we did ok trolling Leech and Carey Special patterns, but be aware of the wind. The lake is long and narrow and the wind can be strong at times. Make sure that you have a good battery. Good Luck.
