Hey anyone catch any bass out of Klinline Pond in Vancouver,Wa? Any clue to what works. Please give me a few ideas what to try. Thanks, GaryH.

All the trout pressure has made them ridiculously finicky, in my experience. In the summer when the trout fishing slows down I can sometimes spot them holding off those vertical posts out there and have gotten a few on soft plastics, finesse fishing. Also that smaller pond back behind the main pond has some decent bass. Smaller spinnerbaits have worked for me, and topwater in the evening just before the park closes. You can also get into some pretty big bluegill in there, and I've caught some black crappie there too. On the other side of the freeway is what used to be pond 2, and they used to stock that with bows, but since the flood they stopped. That pond has some real nice bass, but access is a problem now with the bridge construction. If you do get back there, drop shotting has picked me up some nice fish.

I have been looking for some new bass spots here in Clark County...anyone got suggestions? Sadly the ponds by Skordhal's were closed off, so I don't really have anywhere consistent to go.

I believe there are record size bass in Klineline - we've seen them while doing warmwater sampling. The trouble is, many of these fish hang out on the back side of the lake were shore anglers can't get to them.

We will be doing a survey of the lake in July and I'll let you know what I find.

As far as other bass lakes these ones would be worth a look:

Kress Lake - Cowlitz Co.
Vancouver Lake - Clark Co.
Lacamas Lake - Clark Co.
Swofford Pond - Lewis Co.
Mineral Lake - Lewis Co.
Lake Sacajawea - Cowlitz Co.
Battle Ground Lake - Clark Co.

There are others - let me know if you'd like more info.

Yes, by all means, let me know what you find. I'm really new to bass fishing. I've only caught trout at Klineline, largest one 17 inch on 2 lb. test leader. I appreciate any and all info on fishing for bass. Techniques, lures, everything. Thanks. I also have a fly pole I'm dusting off to start using again. Thanks again, GaryH Vancouver,Wa.
