Title: William O. High Lakes Fishing
Post by: Naches Sportsman on July 12, 2017, 09:33:03 AM: How's the fishing been inside the William O.? Going to hit some lakes Sunday-Tuesday for some therapy.
Tired of roasting down here in the desert for the last 21 days. :chuckle:

Where are you?
Arizona. Been consistently hitting upper 110's the entire time I have been down here. Seen lower to mid 120's as highs 4 of the days.

I'll probably skip out on taking a crosscut, but will take my silky. My trail partner has made good progress on the trails we have adopted.

Post by: Dslayer on July 22, 2017, 04:55:39 PM: Finally got back up on the Tumac for three days-camped at Pipe Lake which I believe is the most consistent lake of the many lakes up there-got enough fish in the 13-15 inch range to eat. Lost a huge fish at Long John casting off the cliff like a dummy-by far the biggest fish I've seen in there. My son caught a very large fish at Shellrock 2 weeks ago. Kind of in the mid summer funk, there's so much feed it's hard to catch them but it can be done.
