Couger Lake, WA


My buddy Dalton and I got the idea that we would float the Methow river in some pontoon boats as much of the upper river can be hard to access. The night before we decided to check out Cougar lake as we had heard there are some fish up there. Just stripped some line out and let it troll behing the pontoon as we explored our way around the lake. Fishing for an hour or two we hooked a couple fish but retired soon after to drink some beers by the camp fire before our trip the next day.
