Hit Cascade on Saturday, June 26th. Didn't make it there until about 1PM. Fished on the west side near the Christian Church Camp a ways north of French Creek.

We were bank-yanking with two rods set up with bobbers and jigs, hoping for perch and one rod on the bottom with a worm and garlic marshmellow hoping for trout. Any water we could cast to was pretty dirty from the wind when we started out. Caught about a 14 inch Bullhead right off, followed by a 11.5 inch perch. The perch got me perked up and I was hoping for about 600 or so, but the next 3 fish were all Bullheads. Having no action on the bobber rigs we switched all to the bottom. After an hour or two the wind died down and once the water cleared up the trout started biting. We landed several. A couple 12ish, a couple 17-19ish, and one that was 24ish in length. Also lost a few in the 17-19 range as well as one that felt much larger, but never saw. It took a hard run part way in and broke my line with ease. I think it was pretty big, but can't be sure. I'll bet most reading this will understand what I mean. Anyway, worm and garlic marshmellow seemed to be the ticket for the trout. Also worked on one perch. Oh yeah, and 4 bullheads. Almost forgot that was a fish.

Thanks for the report and photos. Nice fish. I'm going up again this weekend and will give the garlic marshmallows & worms at try.

When I am bait fishing, the worm and garlic marshmellow is my standby bait.

I had no idea there were trout like that in Cascade.

Thanks for the report.

Hit Cascade again on Thursday night, Friday, and Saturday morning.

Pulled in just as it was getting dark on Thursday night, hoping for perch. Caught 2 bullheads and 4 very nice perch in the last 20 minutes of light[]. Was very excited for the next morning.

When morning came, all we could get were trout. No perch at all. The darn trout were running from 12 to 17 inches and were swallowing the bait almost every time. Couldn't keep the darn things off. We had to cut several hooks off to keep from limiting. The smaller perch, 1-4 inches were swimming past us all day. Looks like the prospects for future good years are good! Must have been 100,000's of baby perch swim past.
