Post by: Sportfury on July 13, 2010, 07:40:54 PM: I caught a nice one back in June out of Ohop Lake and a long time back my buddy pulled a bobber out of the lillypads on Tanwax that still had a very live, big, disgruntled cat on the line attached to the bobber. I think I have heard of them coming out of Kapowsin also.

that is true, but it is a nice lake to fish at. I've herd of some monster bass coming out of there.

Post by: Dustin07 on July 14, 2010, 03:55:11 PM: its a nice lake and PROBABLY has some good size fish. I've heard of monsters as well, but there are so many dinks in there that they may fight for food. but it's getting to be almost impossible to fish.

Post by: wsucowboy on July 14, 2010, 04:52:39 PM: yea, i have fished there 5 or 6 times and have yet to catch a trout. i know last year a guy caught an 8 pound bass out of there. I have only fished the far side of the lake not out by the houses on the other side. do you know if the fishing is any good on that side?
