Bone, how many people are up there during rifle deer season??

i have fished bumping since i was a little kid the lake is good for silvers and whitefish, best fishing is at the upper end where you can see the bottom. the limit for white fish is 15 unless the have changed it. there are a few places in the lake where a 100 foot anchor rope wouldn't touch. the prices for camping and boat launching has really gone up since they paved it and put in the new boat launch a few years back.

Bumping lake has become our annual family camping trip. This is our 4th year this summer. We have been going in July, but this year mid August was the best time for us, so it's booked. I'llget up early in the morning and run up into the little naches and do some scouting. We're not very hard core fisherman but we'll catch a few fish at the upper end. This is a shot of my favorite girls out on the lake.



So if you drive by site #10 in the upper bumping campground the week of August 15 and see this tent, stop by and I'll buy you a beer.



If were not their we're probably off biking somewhere but we'll be right back.



I'm hoping my wife and son will draw their muzzleloader bull permits this year in the little naches or the goose prairie.

Nice pics Opportunist, looks like you guys enjoy it as much as we do. Good luck on the draws, I need to get my wife and kid in the draws. So far I'm the only hunter, but would increase the odds drawing for more permits. Might see you up there, we go 6-8 times a years. Have fun up there.

Sounds like a fun time. Hard to beat a good family campout. I do like Mardon myself.
