I was just there the other day (not to fish, to take my daughter for a walk) and I thought, "Hey, wonder if I can fish here soon?" I checked the regs that evening, and from what I understand it's open year-round.

That said, it's way, WAY down, like half full. I saw a Blue Heron standing in the lake about 40-50 feet from shore, which means that far out it was still only about a foot deep. I'm sure there are deeper sections towards the west end but I've only fished there once or twice so I don't know much about it.

Didn't see anyone fishing. You will have a hard time casting without hitting a duck, I probably saw 150-200 ducks playing bumper boats in the lake.

Sounds like carp fishin' time.

It's pretty much a put and take trout fishery. Once they start stocking it in mid March it is usually fairly fished out within a week or two. There are some Carp and even a big Koi as well as some Bass and panfish. It's a great spot to take a kid fishing!

It's in Beaverton in the middle of a housing development. It is just north of Walker Rd. between Murray and Cedar Hills.
