Clear Lake - Yakima
« on: April 13, 2018, 04:25:36 PM »
Anyone been up there the last few days? Was hoping to get the kids out fishing and hoping it hasn't snowed in.

Rimrock was down about 10ft from the high mark on shore.

If no luck at clear, try the lower of the two lakes that start with an L north of the highway. Fly fishing was on fire last December there. Probably could catch a fish with any natural like display.

The upper of the two lakes that start with L is decent right now.  Not an easy to place to fish once it warms up and weeds up.  Clear has been planted with 12,000 fish with another 8 thou to come.  Almost impossible not to catch fish there.

More seriously, it's one of my go-to spots to fill the freezer.  I do strike out occasionally (like I did on Tuesday night), but generally great fishing.

Don't ever free climb the rock walls at Clear Lake... you may find yourself in a precarious spot.
