So, this year has been different in many levels (just background, all three of us lost our mom's) and we all needed a mental reset. Our trip was a bit shorter but allowed us to fish 5 lakes, base camp Sun Lakes.
Several lakes were were a disappointment this year and several did better than in many years for us. We all know that lakes cycle, temperature and weather, and summer die off have a drastic effect on catching. Water temps were all 62+ deg. Several lakes had some algae but visibility was still at least 6 feet. We had very little wind that in this area is a plus (a couple nights the trailer got rocked!) We were the only people in several of the lakes, which is always kinda fun.
The dirt road info one lake has gotten REALLY rough in several spots!!
I also found out that WDFW is doing a water research study on the "Falls" lake. I still believe there is a direct correlation between the Banks lake reseal project and the continued shrinking/lack of water in the "Falls".
Might get one more long trip in after dinner family commitments and garden wrap up.
Tight lines to all!
