Re: Bass Lakes in eastern washington

[vs]

Just start walking the state, blm, and bureau of reclamation lands in the basin.  There are tons of warm water ponds virtually everywhere.  The trick is walking.   I use to fish a couple, but now they are overgrown with milfoil in many cases.  Also the bass anglers are very efficient at harvest, so most of the ponds as soon as the fish get to decent size get fished out quickly.   Unfortunately, bass fishing overlaped with trout and bird hunting in the fall and something had to go....maybe in a couple of years when I have more time!!   Be careful wandering around in the basin....its not your fathers eastern Washington anymore.  Lots of car clouting and generally ugly behavior going on in many of the isolated locations.   Good luck....somewhere out there are several ponds that must have large bass in them.   Vladimir ----- Original Message ----- From: J Paulson To: waflyfishers@waflyfishers.com Sent: Tuesday, June 28, 2005 9:59 PM Subject: Re: Bass Lakes in eastern washington Forgot to mention that I'm looking for smaller, float-tube doable lakes...
