8/28/2008 3:49:00 AMHey I have a cabin on the North Side of Rimrock off Hwy 12, Where is Fish Lake....I'll be going up there this weekend and I wanted to try it out?

8/28/2008 11:10:00 PMIt's tough to find,
Go south of Rimrock on FR 1203 past the South Fork campground, for about a mile. As you come out of the turns, look left for a primitive parking area, with a couple of firepits. ( If you come to the junction with FR 550, you've gone too far. ) The lake is back behind there, about a 1/4 mile walk along the trail leading from the parking place.. You don't want the pond close to the road, but the second one, further back, with the dead trees poking thru the water, Also you need to fish where the creek comes into the lake on the north side...too weedy elsewhere.
It can get a bit muddy walking in, and you'll have to cross Fish Creek at least once
If I were going to go back there, I might try flies with a casting bubble this time. I got quite a few bites on worms as I was reeling in, right close to shore.
Hope that helps Tight lines to ya.

8/29/2008 3:37:00 AMThanks alot for the detailed directions...I'm for sure going to Lost Lake and Leech Lake. I am going to try and find Fish Lake and fish that, all I fish with up there is clear bobber and worms (except Leech Lake of Course). It's so beautiful around that area its hard to just stay in one spot for me, I got to hit them all! I'll let you know how it goes!
