echo lake question?
 
how is the musky fishing there? I head there are some real monsters in there. Also are they eating all the bass. Is there any nice size largemouth or smallies? i use to fish here many years ago. and since then drained it and made the new launch its been soo different. i remember one day i caught 25 bass. if anyone can shed some light on the fishing in echo?

Went there once this year. Caught some nice size smallies, but not the quantity of Clinton.

Also had a bite off from a suspect musky. Caught one there a few years ago my first time there. Fishing from shore with light tackle. Followed a worm right up to the shoreline and nailed it. Wasn't a giant, but bigger than my biggest pike to date.

About 8 years ago I got a 5# largemouth and a stringer of large perch in the back channel, I'm sure it's still as good

Went last night for a few hours up till sunset. Water was really stained, I'm assuming from the storms the day before.

Threw spinnerbaits, cranks, shiners, and even a little topwater at sunset. Not much going on. Got a couple perch and a couple rock bass. One of which was pretty big. Pound, pound and a half.
