Fished for only about an hour during a break in the weather, caught and released a 18" brown and missed another. It was kind of windy and my son was getting cold , so we left .It was my first time ever there, so we will try it again sometime. I heard there are muskies there????

No muskies in Liberty. They are in Silver and Newman in the Spokane area, and in Hauser in Idaho.

Mind if I ask where you fished and with what? I tried just off-shore from the boat launch (didn't stray too far because I was trying out an electric trolling motor -- a used one -- for the first time and didn't want to head out too far). Anyway, we didn't catch a single thing, but I'd heard folks were pulling nice browns out of there.

trout cowboy pull plugs im not going to tell you what ones that takes all the fun away I have caught some nice browns there this year one going about 5- 6 lbs and a few nice 2 - 3 lbers you were in the right area most of my luck has come just east of the lake but seems to pick up all over once the water changes a bit. Good luck hope that helps a little

Thanks Jay, I appreciate the confirmation that they're in there. I'll just call it bad luck. I checked the topo map before we left and it looked like the deepest part of the lake (and that's not saying much -- the deepest was like 30ft) was a hole maybe a bit SE from the launch, so that's where we criss-crossed. We normally head for the extreme south end of the lake for bass/crappie but didn't have time to make it there on only a partial charge and 43lb thrust motor with only a couple of hours before dark. So I was in unfamiliar territory and probably using the wrong gear too. I'll hope for better luck next time. ;-)

Troutcowboy,I was using a 10' 8wt fly rod with type 6 sinking line and a pretty heavy brown leach pattern.

No muskies. Newman or silver for those!
