East lake — I've been practically living on East Lake, 3 to 6 days a week for the last month or more and have seen a lot of different stuff going on, but I'll say the last 7 to 10 days since I updated the report last it has gotten better for a number of … Continue reading Cascade Lakes fishing report 7/19/17
It's an intersting year, or at least an interesting last couple of weeks at East Lake. One note it the lake has recently turned over and there is a fair bit of debris/algae/detritus floating and that mixed with a S**T Load of Pine Pollen in some areas the surface of the lake is just yellow. … Continue reading East Lake fishing report 7/4/17
East lake has been good for me this week. Beetles were my hot fly a couple days ago, but we caught fish on Callibaetis nymphs and dries and on Black Chironomids under an indicator in about 6 to 8 feet of water. Hosmer has been really good.

Fly Fisher's Place Cascade Lakes fishing report from a cessna on 5/3/17.
Crane Prairie is always a fun and good bet at opener. Launch early morning and fish into the early afternoon.

The Balance Leech you'll fish on a floating line with an indicator, all the rest go … Continue reading Cascade Lakes Opener 4/22/17
