Title: Meadow Lake near Cheney?
Post by: SpokaneSlayer on July 27, 2009, 12:17:16 PM: Do any of you know anything about Meadow Lake near Cheney? Is there fish in it? Public access? Every time I drive past it, I think that has got to be good for bass.

I'm going to try and find it. That lake looks way to good not to at least try. Maybe someone will let me fish from their property.

I took a drive around it to see if there was any good access to get permission for. It's surrounded by reeds. Might be able to get a canoe or float tube in there, but not a boat.

LOTS of bullheads and some carp. No bass what so ever. :( When I first moved in in 2001 I thought I will stock this lake myself. I contacted WDFW and they said nope we can't stock it since there is no public access and you can't stock it without building a fish dam on the one end that crosses Meadow Lake Road. It still has not been offically stocked.
