Any good fishing spots around here? I'm thinking about camping there this Friday...

Hi, I'm Sarah, and I've been fishing since I was old enough to hold a pole. I grew up in Sequim and my folks owned a charter boat, so I fished a lot for salmon/halibut/ling cod in the Strait. My dad took me fishing for trout and kokanee sometimes in the lakes around Sequim and Port Angeles. Over the last 25 years, I've gotten to catch pretty much everything but a bass. I moved to Spokane about five years ago, and apparently bass is the "big" fish over here... and they're pretty tasty, too. I've got an excellent recipe for "Indian candy" smoked fish, and I'm interested to try it on a nice largemouth. :-) So, I'm looking for directions, advice, maybe a fishing buddy or two. This seems like a pretty good community, and I look forward to talking with everybody! Cheers, Sarah

Hi, I have a 4-year-old, a tent, and pretty standard equipment, but no boat. Are there any good areas with enough smallish fish biting to entertain a little one, good (big!) bass fishing from shore, and/or cheap boat rentals? I'm looking for somewhere within 1-2 hours driving of Spokane to camp for a weekend where we can catch enough fish to justify turning on the smoker. :-) Thanks, Sarah
