i am going on the weekend and was wondering if anyone has much luck up there. seems to be lots of lakes in the area so we will be hopping around from lake to lake. not looking for your honey hole just some general ideas.

thanks

Thaila can be GREAT, but it can also be a very tough lake to fish.

Concentrate on the drop off close to the cabin (There is only one cabin on the lake) There are some real nice drop offs on the lake and I have had great luck in the spring with Chironomids, but at this time of the year I have done really well on Black/Red Micro Leeches hung under an indicator .

Dragons work well there as well, try to make sure you match the color of the dragon nymphs, at Thalia they are usually in a Dark Green/Brown molted color.

Have fun.

A good investment is one of the outdoor map books you can by at most tackle shops and else where.

brookmere is an easy route to follow and is a good drive. Last time me and my girlfiend came back that way we saw a porcupine and 5 or6 deer

Slimeline and a littlefort leech:)My bud just came back from there and said fishing was real slow?Not much in the way of insects or hatches.

drock, do you follow the road to the left at the y when you drive through brookmere? on google earth it looks like you could follow the old rail line. could you give me some directions? thanks.

[drock31]

We followed the brookmere road which I beleive branches of to the right but the brookmere road is labeled and it goes through to tulameen

[Rp3Flyfisher]

I have followed the rail tracks, beautiful route, but if you don't know the way it is easy to get lost.

We were on that road last weekend.  Drive into Brookmere until you see the green (or blue) garbage bin on your left.  Cross the tracks and take that road until you get to the end.  Take a right at the stop sign and keep going down Otter Valley Rd. until you see a small side road on your left called Youngsberg - this road takes you to Rickey and Clifford Lakes which are right next to Thalia.

It's an easy drive with a few smaller potholes, my driveway is worse.  We made it in a Corolla and saw only one vehicle on the monday.  Let me know by PM if you see any deer.

thanks DBM. will get back to you later.

I have read a very favorable report on Kentucky Lake and Alleyne Lake which I believe are in the vicinity.
Big trout and lot's of them according to the post.

Salmon lake is also fishing extremely well in the merit area
