NWMALLARD, You are dead wrong about Lenore being slow to start. It is the FASTEST lake to have a bite after ice out of any in E. Wash.....because of it's shallowness and large hungry fish population I think. The date of ice out makes NO difference at all....if ice is out there will be a chironomid and bloodworm bite on the N. end.

It has been fishing fantastic, a little slow mornings except for Lenore Experts, but by afternoon everyone who knows how to dunk a chronie is getting lots of fish. Oh, and beware the wind. It's common early and will KILL the bite sure as heck.

Big John, I waz one of the ones there when you stopped by Thurs. But I didn't have the rod of your name going. The one I had brought in around 40-50 fish that afternoon.
