Get Offme Fish

I forgot about granite I need to put that back on my list this year. not familiar w/ muskrat I check it on yahoo maps looks pretty good. See for the Wa lakes I dont have a big enough rig to get on Banks or Potholes. and the lakes in spokane wont really offer me any thing diff then I can find in N. Idaho.

Thanks guys that really narrows it down thats about $200+ What size sammy should I start w/ the 85 or 100

So I have decided to spend some extra $$$ and pick a few of these up. I fish in mostly clear lakes So my question: WHich ones should I get. I was figureing a Sammy and RC but what others. and what size and colors should I get. Thanks...

Hey Sarah if you want to travel over to Idaho there is Round Lake camp ground about 10min south of Sandpoint. The campgrounds are really nice w/ showers and is embedded in tress so you are camping in shade. The Lake is nice lake filled w/ trout, bass, and pan fish with two long docks and a walking trail around the lake. Its a beautiful place to go. Also has a small beach area for the kids to swim. No boat rentels but I believe they have canno rentels. Im not able to post the link but you can search it Round lake state park Hope you have a fun and relaxing time :)

Thanks for the reply... Twin is still pretty good one of my favs. I know there are some very nice lakes in Central WA and Idaho but each year I think about getting an WA license but if there are no close Spokane lakes any better than N.Idaho lakes I would just save my $$$.

I live here in N. Idaho and fish many of the area lakes. Im am just curious if it would be even worth getting a WA out of state license to fish WA lakes. DO any of them have anything really diff to offer. I have 10-12 lakes to hit all within 30 min. I fish Hayden, Twin, Hauser, Rose, Spirit, Fernan, Rose. because I only have a 12ft bass style boat or float tube I havent got into the rivers or Coeur D alene. So is there any WA lakes on the east side that is a must...

take those fillets and cut them up in chunks throw them in a skillet w/ some butter, lemon, garlic, and seasoning. Then put in a flour tortilla w/ guacamole, cheese, pico de gallo and your favorite hot sauce. BASS BURRITOS OH SO GOOD!!!!!

check out washingtonlakes.com it has some useful info on area lakes and also fishing reports.

Welcome aboard. I too just recently found this site an it has a lot of great info. I am over in N. Idaho and have limited knowledge of spokane Lakes but from what I have heard Eloika, Newman and Long are good starts. I would sugest 2 good resources; there is a book out that provides info on all WA. lakes(directions, types of fish & some other details) that you can find at Hastings, Boarders and even Joe's Sporting Goods. The other is washingtonlakes.com. This is a great site w/ info, fish reports and even topo maps of most WA lakes. Good Luck

Yeah AND??? :-??? :-??? :-??? I have never seen the show but obviously he and the show has may fans. But lets not put these youngins to the fire too much as we ALL have done/said stupid things w/o thinking as teenagers, this is a perfect oppurtunity to teach these lads not berate them(not that anyone has) So boys no need to go into hiding, lesson learned... 8-) btw, Fishing has nothing to do w/ being the best or being great, its all about the enjoyment, excitement and relaxation of this great sport. 8-)

so for you San Diegans what ever Happened to Hodges? That was a Top notch Monster Bass producer when I was growing up down there (16+ years ago) It the late 80s many of the fishing mags predicted the next world record may come from Hodges. Also San V & El Cap were other Favs, and for just plain fun Lake Morena was great for tubing until the drained it for a time being. BTW the way I HATE SNOW in April:(

North Idaho Here (Hayden), I too am new to this forum, pretty sweet btw.
