Isaak's
Ranch & GREAT Public Water
Eastern
Washington has remarkable Desert Lake fishing with Rainbows, Browns, and
Lahontan Cutthroat Trout that feed aggressively on the abundant aquatic
insect life that thrives in these desert spring-fed lakes. Some of the lakes
we guide are public land which can be fished as part of a clinic package
with a "semi-guided instructional approach", or you can go for the full-on
guided trip that keeps a guide at your side throughout the day.
We also host trips on a variety of private waters including the famous
Isaak's Ranch lake system.
Isaak's
Ranch
Isaak's Ranch is
the premier private lake in Washington State and is famous for producing big hard
fighting Rainbows. It has been operating since 1987
and is the longest running pay-to-play lake in Washington State and
has been regarded as one of the finest stillwater destinations in
the Northwest for many years. Isaak's is composed of 2 lakes, the
lower lake is 60 acres and has slightly larger fish that range from
17"-26" with a few fish that might push the 30" mark! Isaak's has
produced fish to 32" in years past and they are not brood stock, but
fast running and super hard fighting. The upper lake is about 40
acres and hosts fish in the 14"-24" range. Both lakes are very
fishable on foot and provide and excellent opportunity for picking
off cruising fish. For anglers with personal watercraft, it is a
boundless resource where anglers can explore without risk of having
to fish the same water twice.
Both lakes have awesome hatches of Calibaetis, Damsel Flies, Dragon Flies, Leeches, Chironomids, and
even Scuds which help it produce such fast growing, feisty,
and obese trout. It is similar to many other Eastern Washington
lake ecosystems like Lake Lenice, Dry
Falls, Quail Lake, and Beta Lake in composition, but the massive
aquatic fertility of Isaak's Ranch is rivaled by none and puts it
into a league of its own. It grows amazingly stout and powerful
trout that will test your nerves, tippet, and even your stout 5
weight rod!
The lakes are about 2
hours northeast of Ellensburg. We will meet anglers in
Ellensburg on the morning of the trip, and head towards the lakes.
We stop again in Dry Falls and meet anybody else that is coming
along that may have lodged in Ephrata or Soap Lake. The guide
will let you know where and when to meet a few days before the trip.
We will also provide you with a gear list and suggested fly
patterns, our shop carries any necessary gear and we would love to
supply you with anything that you may need to purchase for your trip.
A Washington Freshwater Fishing License is required for this trip. |
