Mike Nolan will be hosting a day outing at Cooper Lake on July 20, 2024,  which is located 3 1/2 miles northwest of Salmon-La-Sac and is accessible by a Forest Service Road from the upper Cle Elum River.  Anglers can expect excellent angling opportunities fishing for brook trout and rainbows 8-10 inches. Brown trout in the 1 to 3-pound range and some much larger are also available.  Small kokanee and cutthroat are also taken.  The lake was recently stocked with 3000 rainbows averaging 2.40 lbs.  A boat launch is available, but all motors are prohibited by county ordinance. There is a small US Forest Service campground at the lake and a Forest Service Pass is required for the area.

I’m planning on being at the lake at about 9:30am on Saturday morning after making the nearly 2-hour drive from Seattle.   If you don’t see me at the boat launch, then you will find me on the lake in my green Outcast Fish Cat Cruzer float tube.  In the late afternoon we can gather for food and refreshments at the Brick Saloon located at 100 W Pennsylvania Ave, Roslyn, WA 98941

Members, if you can take another member in your boat to fish at the Cooper Lake outing, please acknowledge this in the “I will Assist With” sign-up, so that I can organize members to fish with you.
