It’s hard to make a choice on where to go for some good fishing right now. There are so many great options. Trout fishing on the region’s lakes that opened recently should be terrific. There’s a couple of places that should be excellent. Park Lake, north of Soap Lake, was keeping trout anglers busy, both from the shore and from boats. Jameson Lake in Douglas County was also producing well with stringers of very nice rainbow from the shore. Near Wenatchee is Beehive Reservoir, and thanks to a generous plant of trout this year, the fishing has been very good. Of the walleye lakes in the region, Mose Lake, as usual, is producing the best catches in the spring. Fishing for smallmouth bass in the lakes has always been good, and from what I have experienced so far, it could be outstanding. I am going to dedicate a few days to smallmouth fishing on Moses Lake. I also plan on giving Banks Lake a try for both walleye and smallmouth bass very soon. Anglers looking for big largemouth bass should find them on Potholes Reservoir. Judging by the numbers we were catching here last fall it should be great this spring.
