Went out yesterday and caught 30 to 40, 10" to 12" fish. I did manage too catch  3 fish over 3 lbs. I targeted stumps to catch fish. I pitched a hulla grub most of the day. I did drag with no results. The fish still have not spawned yet. The water temp at the west end of the lake is 62 degrees, but the east end heading towards the cowitz river was 56 degrees.

The water is way low. They filled it up and then dropped it again. The island is about 4ft under the water. All of the flats are out of the water. But you can put in at the new low water ramp at the east end. The ramp is towards the camp grounds.

I read a report from a kid that fished in the Northend tourny.  He went through 2 props  hitting floating debris.  OUCH

Nick,
I have found that on certain days on Riffe, the fish reall wanted a falling bait. They would not hit a bait dragging along the bottom, but they would hit the same bait if it were falling. Once I figured it out, the fish came easy, as I was at the Kosmos road beds, and fishing the first major break. I would cast the bait out, let it hit the bottom, 2 shakes, done. Real it back in. Worked pretty darn good. Up until that point in the day, I was doing the drag and dropshotting with very limited success.

Nick, that roadbed goes out to about 12ft, then drops to 23ft. Was out there with Hos'e Sat., we caught some good fish until the wind cranked up around 10 or so after that we left and went to a smaller lake for a couple hrs. biggest fish was 3lbs or so.

I hate Riffe Lake.

There are no bass in Riffe, right Sarge...

It is about 15ft below full pool. You can launch anywhere but tanabuam park or what ever the name is.
