I made three trips this spring. One to Crescent Lake, two to Odell Lake.
The Crescent Lake trip started out to be a Wickiup trip. I met up with Dennis (aka Dullhook) at Wickiup on Thursday evening. When I arrived at the campground I saw Dennis's boat already on his truck and he said "don't even bother to launch your boat". He was out all day and no bits. He fished all over the lake and saw very few fish on the finder. We decided to stay the night and then head to Crescent Lake in the morning. Go to Crescent and talk to some people at the first boat launch. They said they where getting some fish around the Boy Scout Camp area. We then headed to Spring Campground and set-up camp. Got the boats in the water and headed out. Got to the Boy Scout area and started jigging. Fish-on! It didn't take long to get our limit so we headed back to camp for a fresh meal of Kokanee.
After downing some fish, went back out in the afternoon to finish the limit, it didn't take too long. The morning fish where 12 1/2" to 13 1/2". The afternoon fish where a bit bigger, 13 1/2" to 14 1/2".
Odell Lake trips were in June. I got reports that the fish where small, so I waited till after Memorial weekend thinking the fish would be bigger. Well not so. The fish where running 10" to 11". I did get the two day limit for the time I was there. All of them where jigging. Most where on the bottom from 80' to 120'. Area's were Princess Creek, Gull Point, and Trapper Creek. Hopefully the fish will be bigger next year.
