an anyone out there tell me about Lake Cushman and the surrounding area? I here there are some really sweet fishing to be done in and around there..........

I've never fished the lake. I have received a few reports over the years. Chinook salmon, gin clear water, easily spooked fish. It's on my list of places to visit someday.

You can check the archives over at WashingtonLakes.com for old reports and see if you find anything helpful. Good luck!

It's got plenty of Kokanee. I hear there is some trout . Kind of hard to get in I think after they start letting water out at the end of summer.

Thanks for your input. My wife and just puchased a piece of property up there and am looking forward to try the waters.

Great Kokanee and cut fishing early in the summer trollling the south shore with light gear, gets harder as the summer heats up.

There use to be some dynamite fishing for the Chinook, but I haven't heard anything about the fishery in some time.

The Koke fishing can be tremendously great too!

There are also Dolly Varden or bull trout (take your pick) that grow to double-digit size. And don't forget the very small population of largemouth bass. I caught one there about four years ago that was the prettiest bass I think I've ever seen, probably because of the clear water. There also used to be a pretty good fishery for rainbows.

Had lots of fun waterskiing there when I was a kid.
