Northwest Fishing Reports

Hey everyone, new member here.

Life, job, kids schedules and other hobbies have kept me from fishing like I used to do. I always used to go for the weekend opener at Lake Aeneas and loved it there. But sadly my last trip must be close to 10 years ago now and I miss it. Anyway, the last time I went, there had been some kind of disease or something introduced into the lake. Fishing was poor, and the fish were lethargic, swimming near the surface, and had some kind of slimy brown film on them. I had heard that the lake had been retenoned sometime after that but never got that information confirmed.

Is the lake back to good fishing quality nowadays? I'm looking for a small little lake like this to take one of my sons for a weekend of camping and an intro to fly fishing. Aeneas was my first thought as I'm familiar with it and the size isn't such that he and I can't easily paddle or row over the each other if we want. I used to love that first hour after dark, the lake always seemed to really come to life then. The dive bombing bats were entertaining too.

Thanks for any info.
Jeff

Dang, I was there but spent most of my time at Martha, Saw some real scurvy characters at the Burk parking lot and decided to keep my truck where I could see it.

NWFlyCaster, shake me down anytime. I work Sun through Wed and I'm finishing up the woodwork on the drifter so I'll be ready shortly for some Yak'in.
