**“PASS LAKE: A fly fishing only lake of 99 acres which lies
adjacent to Hwy.525 at the North end of Deception Pass
bridge to Whidbey Island. There are large rainbow and
cutthroat in lake, with most in the 10 - 12 inch range.
Other species include Atlantic salmon and brown trout.
Boat launch facilities and campsites are located in
Deception State Park at the lake’s West end.”
Excerpt from: Washington State Fishing Guide, by the
late Stan Jones.
**Water is warm near the surface but there is still
some activity on the surface from rainbow."It is however a little sluggish."The fish were not breaking the surface usually.
The trout pictured was caught on a Royal Coachman
in the late evening."There were a number of other people fishing,
presumbably with wet flies but this is the only fish caught that I am
aware of but not the only strike I had.
I have included a picture of me and one of my son
J to let you put a face with the ‘chat room’ activity."I am the good
looking one with the fish
