We were booked on Moccasin Lake Friday therefore Kevin guided two men fly fishing on Patterson Lake (it’s now a year-round fishery so we could fish on the 29th. Today, the 30th, is opening day for most lakes in Eastern Washington). The two were inexperienced fly fisherman yet had a great day. They landed 36 Rainbow trout and 5 Kokanee. They played twice as many fish as they landed. The trout ranged from 14 inches to 18 ½ inches. Kokanee were dinks.
As many of you know, trails are starting to melt out. We had our first guest rent a bike yesterday and complete a small loop. He rode Sunnyside and back on Beaver Pond. Yes, he ran into some snow towards the Homestead end. Patterson Lake trail is melted out and could be Mt. biked out and back. Rader Creek is still too snowy. Yes, hiking is still the best activity on the trails. Especially with the small early wildflowers out.
Kevin hopes to ski the top of Thompson Ridge today and will send a picture of that later.
Horseback riding started Saturday.
Pretty nice variety. Not many places can offer snow, wildflowers, hiking, biking, horseback riding and kick ass fishing all in one weekend.
