I may have found out the Zen Leechers secret lake
will let you know Monday. But I wont give the name or the directions.

My guess is that you may have found a lake, the ZL is too clever for the likes of you. Back to school grasshopper.....

The Lake we visited this weekend may not be the secret lake , But it was fun. Not alot of fish caught. But alot of hookup's and LDR's. Today was great as I caught and released a beautiful 26" rainbow that was a good 7 lbs. This was on my gl4 2wt. Using a still water intermediate sinking line and a size 16 red and brown wooly bugger.In about 5 feet of water. Great ending to a great weekend. Saturday I caught 2 on dry size 20 trico.
These were a 18" bow and a 16" bow. Saturday was sunshine and t-shirts toady cloudy and cold. This may not of been Zen Leechers Lake but it was a great Weekend.

Glad you had a good trip. Sounds like a place to do some exploring....

Trout Squealer,

hmmm... found a secret lake.

I told you I'd hunt you down like a dog and shoot you if you talked.. and I been out reloading in the garage...

Since you did not mention the name and kept the secret.. it is a secret whether I will hunt you down.

Zen, I think they got the wrong place anyhow. Been posting about that Nunnally.
Don't get to feelin sorry for them and tell em.
Remember what I told you about that Sunday I was there and.......[/LIST]

Zen Master I did not mention the name or it's location. But from the number of people there it's not to much of a secret. But my lips have been sealed for I do not wish to be hunted down like a dog. But I would go shoot some ducks there if I was you. There were also deer hunters there also.

<whistle>... here boy... come on... don't be afraid... come on.

Trout Squealer, I have other secret lakes and you'll never get them from me. Except for the one that's a 6 mile hike in. It's the way out that's the secret.

now.... if you offered to drive.. then I might show you.

Trout squealer? We may be going back this weekend
to the secret lake. I dont know if I want to ride in the same car as you. But you may follow us if you wish.

TM - Me too. Wonder if ZL will be there tromping through the sage for birds?

TM and MB,

Both you guys may be over fishing this weekend...t the same lake... and maybe me there too????

Hmmmm.... I can get two birds with one stone... maybe even 5 if I use enough shotgun shells

TM... let me know if you heal up enough to go fishing.

ZL - My best was (5) ducks with two shells. I was not ground sluicing!!!

Perhaps we will run tinot each other, sounds like there will be enough people.

MB,

After I sent that message I found out I maybe going to a funeral on Saturday. At least there's some discussion on scheduling it for Saturday.

It's with the ex-inlaws and I don't talk too much with them.. so I won't know for sure until it's already planned.

Might not be going fishing this weekend.

My best was 5 ducks with 4 shots... all flying. My double was on the second shot. Oh.. I had two shotguns in the boat with me. Two shots from the first one and couldn't reload fast enough so I set it down and picked up the other one.

I took 6 snipe on one shot once. They were lined up just right (or wrong in this case). I fired one shot as they got up... and there was snipe everywhere. Sure messed me up as I only needed two for a limit at that time.

I loved hunting snipe, plus they are great eating. I was only able to kick up singles. I was six for six at one point, that dropped to six for twenty when I got cocky. BTW, all shot at different times, no limit violations here.

(Sorry to all about the non-fishing stuff.)

Funeral's on Saturday morning so I guess I won't be fishing with the two of you. Had another guy bringing a pontoon boat along for me so I didnt' need to even bring my pram...

Guess I'll be around home this weekend and doing something local on Sunday. I see a local pheasant release site in my future.

Bill

Trout Master - I bow to your ability and thank you for your guidance - having the the BBQ was also a nice touch.

MB

Fishing was great at the secret lake. Saw Micro Brew and his bud's. All good company to fish with.
Mb we were glad to help out with the use of the bbq. I have Glens fork's. Let me know how I can get them back to him. I cant wait for febuary to come as Jose and I will be back. Oh by the way the fishing picked up agian around 12 sunday. We stayed untill 2:30.

I was with ZL on Sunday when he dropped a nice double on mallards. He was even nice enough to give them a warning shot.

Andy

Dogfish: Knowing ZL, the first shot was just to get their attention. Doubles are pretty neat, esp. mallards. What other birds did you bag? Should be a lot of widgeon in the area, any pins?

Bet those fields are covered now, the Chehalis doesn't seem to like to stay in the banks.

We only knocked down a teal after that. The property we hunt didn't have enough water then, but it does now. There were 10 woodies earlier in the season, but they're gone now. We usually get a good mix of wigeon, mallards, ringnecks, scaup, pintails, and the occasional goldeneye. There are a few geese in the area, but you have to watch for the dusky's.

It is in the Chehalis river valley near Porter. Most of the property is exposed to flooding of the river when it blows out, but the back section is quite huntable and safe when floods occur.
