I'm heading over to kent from Spokane, for work staying the week , anywhere close to get in some fly fishing?
class is usually over around 3, plan on spending the rest of the day on the water, wading, I could even bring my lil pontoon if needed. oh and of course what type of flies.
thanks for the input

Check out wdfw site and or bing or goog maps of the area, lots of little lakes. The toon would be great. as far as flys, anything buggerish in black olive or brown, in about a 8 and bigger. Any bugger, leach, streamerish with a little flash. And of course if you want to get serious any tiny black bead head chronomids work in any of the lakes. Even the stockers are fun, can't keep 'em off the line. =)

Meridian, Sawyer, Lake Wilderness, all east of Kent. Other small lakes in the Auburn/Federal Way areas like Steel and such. I don't know what the rivers are doing or what fish in the rivers are in season. Also depends what specie of fish you primarily want to catch. Sawyer the speed limit is 35 from 2pm to 7pm, and Meridian is 35 from 9am to 6pm, so you'd have to put up with speed boats. The smaller lakes don't allow gas motors for the most part. Wilderness has trout, and bass so I hear, no gas motors.
