My friend Hayden and I had my mom drive us to Cottage Lake to see how the fishing was. We didn't catch anything. However, the next time we went we caught two nice Rainbows on night crawlers and spring green powerbait on the same hook. The fish were very healthy and fought good. I think they feed off the bottom because they didn't taste very good. The lake also holds some Largemouths. There was a huge bass that came out from under the dock when we were about to land our trout. It tried to eat the trout, but it was a little to big. The bass must have been at least 5 pounds. Cottage Lake is good fishing, but I don't recommend eating the trout.
