Okay, here's the deal. Normally, I would'nt give such top secret info, but ever since I got into steelheading, I've forgotten about Bass completely. I was born and raised on a lake called Ward Lake. There's a public launch off of 42nd st. which is off of boulevard road. THe majority of the fishing in that lake centers around trout and kokanee, I guess that's why the bass get SOOOOO big. Whenever I go to visit my parents I take the ol' float tube out and hit the lilly pads. One of the bass I've taken out of there still sits mounted in my den. 10 pounds 4 ounces. But if it's 1-2 pounders you're after, work a rapala in the lilly pads. You'll catch a fish every cast. July and August are the prime times. Like I said, you'll be the only guy out there. During that time there'll be a few boats anchored up toward the middle of the lake targeting kokanee. Well,there it is my friend. Take this information and catch yourself some bass.
