Spent a few days at Cushman...The last get together with extended family and sign-off of Summer of 2008.
Saturday
Arrived around 1PM with clear sunny skies and a slight breeze from the west.
Fished the northern end for some bass with no luck.Was off the water by 4PM.With such nice weather,decided to do a little hiking at Staircase.
Sunday
On the water around 10AM with semi clear skies and a more steady breeze
Began trolling for trout and that elusive monster that broke my line.
Around noon,the weather took a severe turn.Dark ominous clouds began wrapping around the mountains and shortly
there after loud thunder. The lake became more like a bathtub with larger waves and a few white caps.
Frustrated,I turned the boat back to the launch...I was way up north,it was going to be a long and adventurous ride back.
I make it back just fine. I decided to fish off the resort dock with my trusty kastmaster. Well,maybe dumb luck..but I pulled 3 very nice trout in about 45 minutes. The largest being around 2.5 pounds and a very nice fight.
I kept these fish and had a great dinner by the campfire.
I got some photos of the fish via cell phone...If anyone has a clue how to send them to your e-mail...its a motorola razor..
Here's some other pics of the lake
