Slabking,
I went to http://www.washingtonlakes.com/ and got reports that Kapowsin and Tanwax just haven't gotten a lot of bites. So we decided to go Pine lake at Sammamish. We saw a lot of fishermen there but they all laughed when I told them I wanted to get some crappies since they haven't seen one in ages. We ended up fishing at the dock for trouts. I got a total of two relatively small trouts. People were catching trouts but the action wasn't that great accept for this Japanese guy. He had found the secret to fishing for trouts or something cuz he caught 5 within 45 minutes of being there. One was a huge one that weighed at least 2 lbs. He used a modified fly fishing rod and a long leader. He threw pretty far out, too.
Going back to my story, do you know of any place 2 to 3 hours away from Seattle that has some great crappie fishing? Going to Roses lake at Lake Chelan is a little too far but anyone can catch a bunch of crappies by just standing ath the dock.
If you think that Kaposin is still a great place to go then my friend and I will probably go next weekend.
Sincerely,
Ryan
