Very slow fishing, tried to get some browns but nothing, I managed to get a decent 15" rainbow after two hours of fishing. Other people on the dock and to the left of the dock weren't sucsessful.
We got a lot of bites on wedding rings while trolling. Brought three to the boat but they were all small rainbows. We tried some flies but didn't have any luck with them that night.
Much slower than last Sunday; I caught one planter and the wife one small rainbow as well. No one appeared to be doing much better on the bank; other than a guy who caught four and kept one. He was th...

Using a 1/4-oz. silver Acme Kastmaster slab-jig, I fished for 2-1/3 hours from the northwest bank of West Medical Lake. After it hit the water, I counted down 7 seconds and then jigged it sideways ba...
I was told West Medical hasn't been good for fishing for years and so I decided to try my luck today from the shore because they charge you to use their dock. Anyways, my fishing buddy refuses to go t...
Took the grandson out for his first trout fishing trip. His uncle Pat from California was with us. Turned out to be a pretty productive day. We caught a bunch of bows and of course the kid caught not ...
We caught 5 decent rainbows in ten hours. Used predominately roostertails or worms with best results. This spot was nice in the spring...very little weeds. Rainbows ranged from 1.5-4.5lbs.
Had a good time shore fishing by myself. Caught Three rainbows ranging from 2-5lbs. About 2 hrs in between fish. As I was leaving, a couple started reeling in babies over and over. Spot is pretty wee...
My brother and I took his new 20' Hewescraft out to West Medical for a sort of "shake down" cruise. We launched at 10:00 AM and finished till 1:00 PM. We started by dragging a Giant Cowbell with a red...
My brother and I have been fishing at West Medical from the shore a couple of times this month, and we hadn't had a even a bite, so we decided to rent a row boat. The boat made a big difference. We ...
West Medical is a real mystery to me this year. Normally after the usual slow Opener, I start catching fish on a steady basis. Today I had two bites and saw only one fish taken. Boat anglers seemed t...
