Probably Chambers. Fished there the first time last weekend for a few hours, just to scope it out. Landed 4, lost 5, biggest landed was right at 3 pounds. I didn't get to spend nearly as much time on the lake as I would have liked so we'll probably hit that one. Haven't fished Offut before but will check it out :thumleft:

If my buddy can't make it then I might have to check out Offut. I spent the past year recovering from knee replacement so didn't get to bass fish much at all last year. Now my doctor says the float tube is great therapy for my knee so I'm taking his advice and going out as much as possible hehe

I'll be hitting up the usual lake on my new fishing kayak at least two of the days... I know my wife has been trying to plan something for my birthday so I'll have to plan around that. I wanted to go camping, but the sites get waaay too crowded this time of year.

Swift res opens this weekend with 60,000 planted late due to no snow runoff.

Swift opening info

Also the lake is still 26ft below full. I live on the lower Lewis river and it is high and clean. Hope the lake comes up more in the next few days.

I will be spending Friday night fishing for cats at round lake, Saturday at Yale looking for Kokes and Sunday on the CR for Sturgeon. Monday will be my "see the wife day". Actually she might go out for Sturgeon with me.

Lake Merwin just had 43,000+ Kokanee letout the net pens on the 12th. I was fishing off the bank (with no luck) and all the boat guys where limiting out.

I will be at my secret lake, "lake Clear Water":-$ This time I will be fly fishing though so I don't know what my success will be but the only time I don't think I have ever been skunked there so I should do well, the bait rod will be packed just as a back up.

Looks like the weather will be decent too for us fishermen....Right around 70, +/- a few degrees, for all three days of the weekend. Looking like no wind either. Can't wait. 70 and calm, I can fish under those conditions all year!

Thanks, we like to go for the larger ones. If we don't get into any we will just move to merwin to get our limit to smoke.

I'm going camping with the family up in kittias county. There is this pond that I fished last year that is right by the campground called "easton pond" I did very well out of there last year, so I'll wake up have breakfast, go fishing, grill the fish(I know yall like C&R, but its all apart of the camping experience, sorry), roast marshmallows, then talk about random stuff. It should be fun. I might even try some other lakes around that area.

I know this area well. I don't think anyone will give you crap for keeping any. Just make sure their not Dolly's,this area has a bunch and Ranger's that do their job and keep an eye out.
Have you heard if the snow has cleared? I know its been melting but their was alot to get down.

I get to build a deck all weekend.:cheers: No really, I wouldn't be fishing with the crowds anyways. Monday I plan on hitting up Ludlow Lake with a couple buddies from this site. If that lake is too busy we have other options as far as lakes out "off the beaten path". Good luck to everyone this weekend. Be safe and catch a monster. Looking forward to reading all of the reports.
