Hello, Bassin Fool here, with my first report. It's on Nels Johnson, a little known lake that just opened to the public in Kitsap County sometime the over last couple of years. Well, I live around the corner so I had to have look. This is a great lake for float tube fishermen. It's not a bad hike in and there are two body's of water. Now, the first one is just a pond but has nice trout in it. The second is the one you want. I spent about 6 hours in my tube exploring and CATCHING BASS. Probably caught 25 and most of them were around 1 to 1.5lbs. I did manage to land 4 nice ones from 3.1 to 4.5lbs. There are definetly nice Bass in this lake and is worth the hike.

Hey Jerry, we need to fish this.

Hey BF, I had a chance to fish the lakes last summer from the shoreline. It is very marshy and brushy on the shore and fishing was difficult. I did manage one nice bass with a spinner bait. Check my overview and photos on the lake index. Tight lines, BJ

Where did you put your float into the 2nd lake? I went there over the summer with nothing and could only find some swampy,muddy, marshy spot to fish from. Might try bringing my friends kayaks there later in the spring sometime.

Is there a good trail? I have a one man pontoon boat with a wheel on it if there is a good trail and not too far. Thanks to anyone who knows this lake.

Most of the trail is just a road, from what I saw but I think it would be too much to try and bring that in there if it's a little heavy. It's about a half mile walk in to the lakes.

jball50, Thanks for the comment. 1/2 mile isn't too far to go. I have a wheel on my pontoon boat which makes it like a wheel barrow. If it is a road I won't have a problem, but if it is too narrow in spots to get to the water, I'd get stuck and yes you are correct it would be too heavy to carry. What do you think? Thanks

Only place I saw where you might be able to put a pontoon boat in on the 2nd lake is right there by the first lake, but its really brushy you'd have to bushwack back there I'm not sure if youd be able to get it in there. You might want to try pming Bassin Fool or Bob Johansen if there was somewhere else to get into the 2nd lake. There is bass in the first lake too, just don't think there's that many of them in there because my friend saw one around the logs that we were fishing from shore.

jball50, Thanks for your reply. Maybe someone else can help us all with that information.
