RIFFE LAKE IS ONE OF OUR FAVORITE LAKES AND THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THIS SEASON WE WENT FISHING THERE.
WHEN WE PULLED UP TO THE BOAT LAUNCH AT MOSYROCK PARK I WAS IN AWE AT ON FAR DOWN THE LAKE IS. WE HAD TO BACK DOWN ABOUT A 1/4 OF A MILE JUST TO PUT THE BOAT IN THE WATER.
IT WASN'T AS BAD AS I THOUGHT PUTTING IN BUT ONLY ONE BOAT AT A TIME CAN LAUNCH AND ONLY ON THE EXTREME RIGHT LAUNCH. NOW TO THE FISHING. WE HAD PRETTY GOOD LUCK TODAY CATCHING TWO RAINBOWS AND A KOKANE USING WEDDING RINGS HOOKED WITH A WORM TROLLING THE NORTH SIDE OF THE LAKE ACROSS FROM THE PARK.
WHEN WE HOOKED THE SECOND RAINBOW AND GOT IT TO THE BOAT IT WAS A NICE 16" BUT WHAT INTERESTING WAS A BAY BALD EAGLE SAW US PULL IN THIS FISH AND CIRCLED OUR BOAT AT ABOUT 10 FT. FOR SEVERAL MINUTES EYEING OUR CATCH. WHICH WE DIDN'T GIVE HIM TO HIM.ALL IN ALL IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL DAY FOR OUR FIRST TIME UP HERE LETS HOPE FOR MORE GOOD WEATHER.
