does anybody know how the fishing has been the last week on Riffe lake? where is the water level? I'm thinking about trying to catch a kokane tomorrow and havn't heard much lately. Thanx.

Just a minor detail, but Riffe Lake is in Lewis County. Imagine water level is low and more fish should be dumped in there over the next couple of months because the salmon hatchery dumps excess silver smolts into the lake. This should improve fishing if it is not already.

yes you are right I wasn't paying attention. it is Lewis county. thanx for the reply.I wish I knew of a web page that might have some info on the conditions on that lake. does anybody have any ideas? thanx

thanx chuck. I'm new to this internet and I really love it. I can find so much info and If I can't then some one else out there can useually point me in the right direction. I really apreciat the help.

I understand the water level is low. This could make launching some boats tuff. I guess they are getting ready for a big runoff.

If anyone has been by the lake I would like to know the water level,and if you have launched a boat can it been done with a 2 wheel drive truck.

I was able to find some info with the sight mentioned above and allso by looking through the WDFW page. it looks as though the lake is down 40' I'm not really familiar with the lake but from what I have found out it is very low but rizen. I checked the flow coming in the lake and comeing out of mayfiled and there is much more coming than going and from what I have learned that makes good fishing when the water level is coming up. It does sound like the upper end is very dificut almost impossible to launch at. If I remember right the launch at the lowere end is just the old road that winds out into the old valey before it was flooded. it should still be launchable. we launched on it when the lake was low one year and it was just fine. I didn't make it up this weekend but did get my tackle together for this coming weekend. If anybody hears anything I would really apreciate it if you could pass it on to me. thanks
