A visit to Sheep Lakes is always a good idea. After a long day outdoors Skamania Lodge is a tremendous location to spend a night or two, and there's whitewater on Panther Creek for all you adrenaline kick people. A good deal of precipitation falls at Sheep Lakes; the month of December is the wettest with most of the rain; July on the other hand is the driest. This lake is so wonderful.

Little Ashes Lake
 | 14 miles away Since the previous post was negative, I was skeptical about fishing there. I sent a couple of hours fishing there at one of the few access spots to see how it fished. I was fortunate enough to land a trout about 27 inches long. Not to bad for a couple hours. Caught using a rooster tail spinner. Gotta give it a try....Little Ashes lake is a medium sized spillway from the Columbia River. There is not much public access to the lake. The lake is boundaried on the southwest side by Highway 14. and all the rest is Private property. No way to launch a boat, but I have float tubed it. There are no trails to hike around this lake. You won't want to swim in it since it is columbia river water. The fishing is unproductive as i fished it and never caught a single bass or trout, only sucker fish and perch. My advice is to just enjoy the sight of this lake, but venturing into it is a waste of time.... |
