Bass Lake in Skamania County fishing question

[iwalton]

Drove by Bass Lake today, just north of Bonneville, in Skamania County. There is public parking with a hiking trail and a Army Corp of Engineer info booth on the lake, with fishing marked as allowed. However, I have never seen any posts here or elsewhere about this lake. Has anyone fished it that would be willing to share info?

Here's the exact location: http://www.fishingworks.com/lakes/washi ... bass-lake/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Also nearby is the popular Kidney Lake and the Green Leaf Slough. The slough certainly looks interesting as well.

I have fished that Bass Lake a couple of times back in 1991. I fished from a canoe. I didn't catch any bass but I did catch a few squawfish on a white spinnerbait. It looked very interesting and I think there are probably bass in there. Nice quiet lake. Skamania County Lakes that I have caught some bass from include Ashes Lake, Grant Lake, Ice House Lake and Tunnel Lake. Tunnel Lake has some real lunkers.

Thanks! Sounds like one I need to fish this summer.

I've done creel here over the past few years and seen some pigs come out. It's sort of a nice little hidden lake that has some nice fish potential.
