2/3/2010 4:02:00 PMAlways nice to see a G. Brown trout. Pretty fish. What did you mean that the ranger shooed you off the lake. Is there a sign saying that you must be off the water (boat) by dark? Or were you fishing from the dock and therefor in a park that closes at dark?
I know the lake pretty well.... so I am just trying to see if it was a matter of the park hours.... or if you were just along the shoreline across from the campground entrance? That area I would think would be fine anytime?

I brought my boat in to the gravel launch, put it in my truck, and drove away so she could lock the gate. I was then going to fish from the shore...but I was cold, and wet!
they really are beautiful fish....

2/3/2010 8:08:00 PMclam. I lived in Greenbank a while back and even worked in sporting goods at Oak Harbor Ace Hardware. Cranberry is just a gem of a lake! My Nephew Dustin and I spent many hours catching planter rainbows and browns using weddingring spinners and silver blue Kastmaster spoons. During the summer we caught quite a few largemouth bass as well by pitching smoke double tail jigs and tubes around the logs and stickups. Almost strait acrooss the lake from the dock on Cranberry is a 13 foot deep hole along the west side cattails. That was where we caught our biggest trout on sppons to around 17". Great report!
