Title: Ice Fishing on Bumping Lake
Post by: Berin Denson on January 05, 2024, 07:47:03 PM: Looking to do some fishing this winter. Has anyone ever had any luck ice fishing on Bumping Lake? Would like to head up high and fish a mountain lake this winter if possible.

I've fished it from shore in October with some good luck. Worse the weather the better the fishing.

Id look at some of the ponds up the little Naches River on the right. Been years since I fished there, and they were great, but the size would be better for good ice. Or even Mud Lake.
