Lots of 3’s, 4’s & 5’s. Biggest was 6.48. This was my second time to fish West Lake with a guest. First time was in Nov ‘21. Both times gave us lots of solid fish. The solid Nov ‘21 fish were at the dock (which has since been smashed by a big pine lay down). This time majority of solids were at spillway & dam. Lake was up quite a bit from the 5” of rain the night before. This was one of the few, successful post-front trips I've taken.
Jessie, the on-site caretaker, is a great guy. Friendly and helpful!
If you haven't fished West Lake, put it on your list!

That's a good day! I fished West Lake the day after you yesterday and couldn't figure out the high and muddy water. Caught 5, culled 3 of those and returned the other 2. Biggest of the 2 was 4+ and fought like an 8 lber. Got hot and frustrated and called it quits a little before noon
