Nick,
Let me know exactly when you are there.  I live five miles from CWU and perhaps we could get down to Vantage after camp for some jumbo SM fishing.  It is prime time right now down there.  There are a couple of other spots to try as well around the valley.  Send me a PM.

nick,
I just so happened to graduate from cwu in 2003, and did my share of fishing over there. Most all the lakes over there do contain bass, however; I would focus on the Woodhouse ponds. They are loaded with every type of spiny ray youd think of. If it's not to windy "HA" you will see many 5lb + largies cruising. These ponds are small and high pressured, so use different  presentations. My favorite pond is the one that looks the roundest and has a barb wire fence near it. To get there take canyon road south to the woodhouse loop. There are a series of ponds, but try the one mentioned. To bad your camp wasnt sooner, because peoples pond is loaded with 2-3lbers, but closed to fishing may 15th. Good luck .....Chad S.

I will be attending football camp this next week and its at Central WA U. and Its an open campus if you stay within the confines or close to the campus. We get 3-4 hours of free time in the evening and was wondering if there were any Bass Ponds on or really close to campus?
