So, I had to drive someone to Olympia in the morning and looked for a place to fish nearby other than Black lake and I picked this lake that probably most people in Washington never heard of. It reminds me of a mini American lake, with browner water and rocky, fishy looking areas with no fish. I did finally find the fish but they were all tiny perch and two bluegills. I thought I saw a small bass chasing my spinner once and did see a big splash in the lilly pads so maybe there are some bass somewhere. The second bluegill was the only fish that wasn't tiny, it was average. I swam a bit too before leaving though the water is pretty sketchy looking. Overall, it's like most of our suburban lakes- weak fishing but at least it's free.
