I'm new to this forum, and it's great to be here. I'm new to Wa and Bellevue (King Co), but not new to fishing.

I am wondering if anybody has any experience fishing these two lakes, especially Phantom. They are small park lakes, and are located in the Lake Hills area of Bellevue.

What I know or have heard is this...There are large crappie and good bass. Car toppers, inflatables, and tubes are allowed in Phantom, but not Larson. There seems to be very little fishing pressure in either lake.

Sounds like I just need to get out there and give
it a try, but I am curious to hear any tips, stories, tackle/bait/color choices to use, and maybe areas to concentrate on.

These lakes are minutes from my home, and I would like to master them if the fish are there. Perhaps no one fishes them, because there are too few fish?

Thanks in advance,
Suzanne
