So I'm going to be camping there next Friday the 31st thru Aug 3rd. I've never been there before. I know there is great bass fishing, trout fishing, and some kokanee fishing. My father in law is not much of a fisherman but wants to give it a shot. I was planning on spending most of our time focusing on bass figuring the action could be good. If anchoring and fishing powerbait for trout or trolling is worthy, I may give that a shot too. Any input?
The other question I have is, is it acceptable to tube/waterski/wake board on this lake? I have access to a ski boat and the wife/M.I.L. would love to spend some time in the water. Never having been there I want to make sure this is acceptable there.

I was at the lake last week tues thru sat, lots of trout being caught and several people in ski boats on lake, should be plenty to do :twocents: water level is down a bit though.
-
Great ATV riding too. It's 100% legal as long as you're legal.
-
Trout fishing is great there. I've had the most success using powerbait.
-
I target kokanee when I go. Upper lake is good.
-
I've also caught kokanee from the bank on the lower lake.

We're shoving off early Friday morning and setting up camp at Shady Pines. We're going to be bringing a ski boat and a small 12' aluminum to fish out of. I'll probably do some trolling and still fishing for trout, but am very interested in doing some smallmouth fishing, any key areas I can get into without the aid of a depth finder? I have lots of tube jigs for some deeper water jigging.

I limited on trout last year there before my buddy could get his hook tied on... That was from the bank on the north side.

Thanks for the heads up guys, I appreciate it.
