From Mayfield Dam down river its wide open for fishing. Since no fish passage was built when the dam was installed salmon and steelies lurk no more. Its purely a hatchery fish factory.
Some Steelies and Silvers get trucked up to the Tieton and such, but Id just look to enjoying yourselves on a fine get way.

Hint, Morels will be in full bloom! Just over the pass.
You mean the giant raisens? Are they delicious?  :drool:

Rimrock Lake looks about the closest... no idea what that lake is all about but daily limit of 16 kokanee sounds awesome haha. Hmmmm...

get small pink corkies and run a 24 inch leader with a worm. for weight get split shot cast up stream and drift in down. works great every were I used it  at.



I cant wait til  the hump opens up for trout. Its going to be a slaughter!!!

Do you catch trout or just smolts?


 you only catch smolt if you fish shallow. you gotta use long leaders.

There's some great fishing in the upper lakes of the Margaret backcountry if you're up for a little drive and a gorgeous hike. That's what I'd be doing if I was you, I would imagine all this nice weather has got things mostly thawed out by now.
