Home Lakes closing :(

Post by clarkhess122 » Sun Oct 30, 2011 8:25 pm

I'm really sad because my home lake is closing. I usually don't mind because up until this year I only fished for trout and it was usually fished out by this time, but now that I went over to the dark side [biggrin] I've been catching fish up until closing day. It also seemed like my bro and I finally figured out how to catch 'em. So I'm in a semi depression right now. are there any other lakes that are accesable for a jon-boat or float tube that are open year round? Close to seattle/woodinville is good.
also commiseration about lakes closing goes here. :-({|=

Try Lake Cavanaugh, it is fairly close to Woodinville, open all year long, is considered a good to very good mixed species lake hosting kokanee, cutthroat, rainbows and various warm-water species. Aside from periods of heavy snow the ramp is accessible year-round, offering a no worries packed gravel approach to the water with plenty of parking.

Definitly trout is the DARK SIDE. BASS is where it's at. :cheers:

Haha I've been told bass fishing is the dark side...once you start there's no going back. Definitely not a bad thing though.
My home lake is Cottage and i've pretty much had a love-hate relationship with it. I'm about 99% sure that it closes today [crying] unless the regs changed since last year.
I haven't heard of Lake Cavanaugh I'll have to give that a shot.

You can also give Samammish a go. If you have a car topper and don't mind carrying/dragging your boat a short distance, you can launch for free at Idlywood Park near the north end of the lake.

While in Washington State, fishing for spiny rays leads you on down the path of the dark side where large and small mouth bass await your arrival. Image

I believe Goodwin is open year round, and there are some nice fish in that lake.

Goodwin is open year around. If your willing to drive to Skagit County - Big, Clear, Beaver and Cavanaugh, as previously mentioned, are still open.
