I went the past few days and it's been getting steadily worse. Hundreds of people taking 10 a day and hundreds of cormorants taking 4-5 a day depletes the stock pretty quickly. Yesterday (Thanks...

My mojo was off today so I can only report on my own experience. Lots of folks catching especially using bobber/worm or power bait on a bobber. I was having tough luck today - started off with the...

A good day fishing - better than yesterday but not as good as last week. An early big crowd, but everybody seemed to disperse by noon (when I left). Most folks were using power bait. I stuck to lu...

Weather was tough - crowds were huge and the fish were finicky. More poachers with as many as THIRTY on a stringer. :( Wind early on made it impossible to use anything but a kastmaster. I...

I was all excited to be there for sunrise today - got down there about 7:15 and was halfway down the drive when I realized I forgot my tackle box (and license). Had to go home, so didn't get back unt...

I got there a little later (7:45) but it was hot. Got a fish my first cast on my beat-up jig. Caught/released 4 before I found a keeper. It seems there were a lot of darker fish, especially early i...

Another awesome day. Still using the barbless hook, I caught everything on either my (now falling apart) home-made jig w/the pink/white curly tail or on a size 0 Dick Nite. Both with pinched barbs. ...

They put another 8000 fish in Greenlake yesterday, but I found out last evening that every fish I was catching in the dump area was small and dark, so I fished the NE corner (opposite side of lake) th...

Got there at 7:30. Put on a home-made jig and hooked one right away. After a few more casts I switched to a dark rooster tail and caught another on the 1st cast. As I was putting the 2nd fish on t...

There needed to be another star added for today. It was fish-on from the very first light and it never stopped. I was being selective about the fish I was keeping so I didn't use any power bait (so ...

Okay - so they technically weren't really steelhead as they haven't gone to sea and returned, but that would pretty much be the only difference in the fish being pulled out of the lake. They planted ...
