Packwood, WA Posts: 1 | Today I went to Knuppenberg Lake with my Cortland 9' fly rod and a carpenter ant fly. I was wearing boots so I waded out far enough to cast where all of the surfacing fish were. I made long casts right in the fishes rising ring. I forgot to mention that I was using 3 foot leader also. Anyway, a couple of minutes later I caught a beautiful 15" cutthroat. I released it hoping the trout will grow bigger. I soon caught others. The water is so clear, you can see all the fish with in 20 feet of you. Awesome lake to fly fish and to throw in a worm and a bobber. Its right off HWY 12 before White pass. I highly recommend it. | |
