Hi Everyone,
I have been in touch with some people at the WDFW who were approached by BASSmaster magazine for a list of the top ten bass fishing lakes/rivers in Washington state. I am interested to hear everyone's thoughts on their top lakes, a list will suffice, but if you want to put together a quick reasoning on why the lake is in the top ten I'm sure they would be interested to hear that as well.
I'm going to ponder my list for a bit, but in no particular order the following come to mind:

I see a lot of Eastern Wa lakes/ bodies of water as well as greater Seattle area lakes...North and South. I'm not in those areas and I will keep quiet, thank you. Tho..I would love to fish some of those bodies of water at some time.
Seen a couple Hanfords.....pretty sure part of wallula.. but maybe there is a dam that I have been missing all these years!
haha.... you know exactly why! One is so utterly dangerous that your prop shivers at the thought of attempting running it, and down river is nothing but rats, with nothing that could ever get a prop down there. Everyone knows this.

I deleted my top 10, because I forgot about the 10 ponds and tiny lakes I fish this time of year.
Surprised know ones mention Tapps.
My picks would be only four, just don't have the time after that to fish more :( actually after Tapps fishing time is limited.
1. Tapps
2. Banks
3. Potholes
4. Chapman (wished they have more access.)Ya me too. That's why I listed it.

I've got to speak up for the east-siders. My perspective would be from a tournament fisherman and father of a camping family. Sometimes the fish don't have to be big, just dumb enough to bite a senko my 5 year-old dropped under the boat.
1.) Long Lake - Spokane (26lbs a day to win - and that's during the largemouth restriction - 1 per angler)
2.) Snake River - (Lake Bryan Pool - Smallie paradise- only local fisherman)
3.) Columbia River (Wallula pool)
4.) Pend Oreille River - (beautiful and fun fishing - starting to come back from pike netting)
5.) Banks Lake - (love the fact there's no houses and homeowner bs)
6.) Moses Lake - (Any place that takes 21lbs too make the top 10...)
7.) Lake Roosevelt - (Camping paradise - great fishing for kids)
8.) Potholes - (minus the bugs, and Hobbs/Wolsky. That combination is miserable)
9.) Coeur d'Alene (just to see if you guys were checking - but it's incredible)
10.) Umatilla Pool (I needed a 10th. This place is love/hate. You're either sweating through your underwear, or swimming in them from waves. No in-between. Good fishing if you're not bailing)

Ya me too. That's why I listed it.
