I can't really rate this report because I caught the fish I needed for my County Challenge 12 minutes into the trip! What a beautiful lake though!! It was tough to leave it so soon but I wanted to take advantage of the clock and get to Mason County pronto! Had one bite on a sinking Senko which clued me in to the bass potentially being suspended. I headed straight for the transition bank near a spawning flat I picked while looking at the topo map that morning. After the Senko bite (which was a small fish) I started slow rolling a swim jig, hoping to stay just above the grass and discourage the tiny fish from biting. Was maybe my third cast and thunk! He wrapped me around a dock pole and we stalemated for a moment but the he kicked loose and fought very well! Boated, photoed, released and as I turned to blast back to the launch I was treated to the picture of what I want to say is Mt. St. Helens? Some low clouds and blue skies made me stare for a few minutes and I almost forgot I had a camera lol

I will be back to this lake as it looks amazing to fish! Be advised that the launch is steep and the parking area limited (for trailers)

Nice fish. The mountain you were seeing is Mt. Rainier.

Yeah I realized I wasn't far enough south after posting. Different angle than I'm used to seeing Rainier at too as I never fish that far south. Pretty awesome backdrop either way!

That's the wrong picture too! That's the long shot of Carlisle not the mountain shot it should be....poop
