Fished this lake on Monday the 29th in the morning.  Temp was a little cool and the lake has not cleared from all the October rains so the water was very stained.  Fished all over the lake and managed only 5 fish.  Never caught more than one fish on any bait I threw.  Three fish in the 15 inch range and two fish were >2 lbs.  The lake is beautiful even though it's in such a metro area.  All fish were chunky fat.  Caught them on a yellow spinner bait, a purple worm, a green jerk bait, a bright blue worm with chartreuse tail, and a big lipped crank bait retrieved very slowly.  I can't wait for a stretch of decent weather and the lake clearing up because I think this lake would be phenomenal under steady warm conditions.  Fished because I can't get to my deer lease in Mason County because of all the flooding so a nice distraction.  Caught 3 fish in the tail of the lake and 2 just to the left of the damn.
