Leech temp?

[Wayne Kohan]

Looking for options for this week's trip somewhere. I suspect Leech temp is pushing high. Anyone been there lately?

thanks

Wayne, I was going to go this morning but I couldn't get the bed off my back. However, my observations are that the last couple of days have been windy, that mixes the lake really well (Its only 5.5 feet deep now). The nights have been getting into the high 40's, so I expect the temps to be around the mid 60's. I think you are good to go.

Last night I was camped on the Naches River near the confluence of the Bumping River and Little Naches. It was 48 degrees at 6 AM this morning, so I imagine air temperatures at Leech were colder than that.

What were the fish up to? Were there any flying insects?

They were up to about a foot above the water trying to catch the blue flying insects.

All good, but it is going to get hot again the coming week. Poor fishies...

I was at Leech on Friday 8/12 and the surface temp was 70 at 2PM.

I had 65.5 on Wednesday on my depth finder. Were the fish still active and easily revived?
