AT,
I've been over there three times now. Next week will be the last week before the big fishout. Though the bass are large and have been fairly obliging to my fly presentations, I did manage to get skunked on my trip over yesterday. High sun, glassy calm water, ospreys on constant patrol - nobody else was catching anything either. Apparently those bass decided that they would clear out of the area to wait for better conditions. I waited around hoping to get some wind for cover but it never happened - which is rather odd for Central Oregon. All I got was tired.
BGMan,
Don't know how others did as it is a very large lake. I didn't cook the bass. I gave 'em to a couple who had been skunked for the day. They were delighted. I still have quite a few fish in my freezer from last year so I saw no point in adding more. I would have simply released them (I did release 4) but they looked hungry and had fished all day with no results.
