Washington Fishing

The Online Source for Washington Fishing Information

This is in correspondence to Jordans top 10 lakes. I see alot of lakes on people's lists the at certain times of year you cannot buy a fish.... so I ask this question...
If you were only allowed to fish one lake for the whole calendar year which lake would you choose and why.
One stipulation imagine if you were required to fish it atleast twice a week.....so no saying I would choose this lake because the fishing stinks in the fall but that is ok because I am hunting!

Long Lake Spokane...no question

Lake St. Clair, Thurston County, open year around, lots of fish, big and small! Almost never has ice and is fishable in almost all weather. In addition it is a great lake to take kids, they WILL catch fish!

 

I'll just choose American lake. Only 12 miles away so it's cheap to fish. Not really that tough to find and catch fish. And it will be good for kids to catch rock bass every cast when needed. Plus I don't really want to name lakes I like going to haha!!

American would be my 2nd choice.

Since the rules are vague, I would choose a lake in a warmer climate. Clear Lake would work for me. If we are talking Washington, then my choice would be for Lake Washington. It is only an hour away and you can catch quality fish all year. It is a giant lake with so many different areas to fish.

Mine, Tapps.  I'm sure there are lots of Tapps haters out there, but I can find nice SM, 12" crappie, and you can hit a bonus 4ft Musky just by accident.  Also, every year I see someone catch an 8lb largemouth.  This is all assuming that the lake isn't drained, and I don't have to pay $17 per trip to launch...

River is the only thing over here that doesn't ice up.  I don't walk on ice.  I don't care how thick it is.  That is just a rule of mine.  Columbia River by default. 

To be fair though, is there a body of water in Washington that is more diversified than the Columbia River at Tri Cities?  If I have to fish a lake 2 days a week, I need to see some changes of pace from day to day.  

Ditto!

The River... there's simply too many options, for any other body of water to compare.

Lake washington. If I had to fish the same lake twice a week every week starting right now that's what I would choose. So much uncharted territory for me and I like fishing it in the winter. Summer I would go out SUPER early to avoid the boarders.
I'd agree with lk. wa for the west siders. I'm not real familiar with it but the size and year round opportunities make it appealing. Possibility for larger fish also would lead me to choose Wa over Samm.

If it's in Washington state, I have to say Lake Washington.  There are other lakes that I catch them better on when fishing is really good but day in and day out Lake Washington is the steadiest 365 days a year.
