Wow great day out on the lake launching requires a 4x4 and it is shallow so watch your props. Lots of kokes spotted but we fished for mac's. Limited within 2hours, 6 fish between 6 and 9 pounds.

The star rating system is hard to decide on. Went with 3 stars. Caught some fish, but had a REALLY good time. Love fishing in lake Cle Elum! U20 down on the bottom worked for us. Fish hard!
