Newport Canals On Lake WA Private Property?

Post by FishingFool » Wed Jun 20, 2018 1:49 pm

Or can you fish it ? Saw a sign out on the front stating "private property and no trespassing" but I dont know how legitimate it is. I thought if it was part of the lake with access, it's fair game?

Yes you can fish the canals. I have for years. The sign is illegal, and THAT has been discussed for years also.

Yeah, if it is the same house/sign that has been there for years.... that is a crock of....
I would make that the first dock you post-up on. (Not trying to insight bad behavior, but you are completely within your rights to access the canal.

Damn, should have fished it this morning then. I know i fished it a few years ago, but didnt see this sign. I do remember the house at a bend of the canal that had a sign, but the sign i'm referring to is at the mouth on the north side. I wasnt sure, so i respected the sign.

Dann I was headed into the canals based on advice from a forum member the other day, and turned around due to that sign!
