If it did not winterkill this year, the hike to Lake Catherine is worth it and the fishing should be hot. Use a fly and bubble set up for fun action. Most flies will work but my favorites there are Renegades, Mosquitoes, and Gray Hackle Yellow. During the day when the action on top has slowed, a night crawler fished near the bottom will provide fast action. With a night crawler fish the east and south sides where the bank is steeper. That way your scouts won't have to cast so far. Don't expect much size there though. A 10 incher is a whopper. But those are some of the best eating fish you will find anywhere. I've caught hundreds and hundreds there over the years. The scenery can't be beat either.
