In Snohomish looking to fish

[RG]

Panther, Storm, and Flowing lakes are just east of Snohomish.  So is Lk Roesiger.  All are good trout lakes.

RG,
I live on a road off Panther.  So close but I hardly fish it.  I tend to drive 2 miles to Flowing as I seem to have better luck on the bass and other smaller fish like perch.  I plan to give Storm a try tomorrow.  Any suggestions for good bass baits?  I usually just use nightcrawlers or rubber worms.

Storm is my favorite.  The bass fishing is better when the weather is warmer though.  We use trout or perch colored rapalas along the right hand shoreline and docks, (looking out from the launch).  I'm not a real good bass fisherman so I'm sure a guy who knows how to use the other bass baits would do well too.  I've caught up to 3 lb bass there, my son in law caught a 5 pound fish.  Of course we put them all back.  I fished flowing a couple weeks ago right out from the game dept. launch using night crawlers on bobbers.  We caught about 5 or 6 fat rainbows.  Storm has good trout fishing too.  People use everything from power bait to worms to trolling baits.  While the water is still cool the trout will be active.  Panther is a good crappie lake.  Roesiger has good bass and trout fishing.  You just have to spend time and get to know the lake.

it's interesting you live on Panther Lake Rd.  Doug Stroud up at Stroud Ranch Quarter Horses is a friend of mine, I get up there on a regular basis.

RG-

Well, I never made it out this weekend.  Instead I was up framing in a skylight.  Well, I guess there is some more summer left.  I hope.  I've caught a few crappie on Panther but it always seems to be hit and miss.  I've never been able to dial it in where I could catch several at a time.
