Probably gonna hit some water on Monday... I'm not working President's day. There's a chance I might have a "bloke" from Blighty with me, the brother of one of the Brits I used to play squash with before the fishing bug bit.

I'm not sure whether to take him on Washington or perhaps Sammamish, but if there are any lakes starting to produce the goods, I'll drive wherever the action is.

Might go out to Lake WA myself with my daughter and rope some "PERCH".

Well, just as well I'm not going till Monday. My friend's brother has arrived from UK, and he's keen to go try some Bass fishing.... I can't make up my mind where to take him. I'd really like to make sure he gets at least one Bass, and since Washington is still pretty tight on bites for novices like me, I'm thinking maybe we should go somewhere else.

Sawyer sounds like a good idea, but since I've only fished it once before and can barely remember it, any suggestions (either for Sawyer or some other lake where there may be a reasonable chance of a fish or two) would be very welcome.
We gotta make sure this "bloke from across the pond" goes home with a nice picture or two...

Hey Faz,
If I had any tips I thought would be useful, I'd certainly pass them along.  But considering I fished pretty hard last Winter (the first time) and caught nothing, I'd hardly say I'm an expert.  So I doubt I have anything worth passing along.

Considering all the helpful information that's passed around on this forum, I'm sure people would respond if they had any information for you.  However, if nobody responds, I think it's safe to assume we're just about as clueless about this Winter fishing thang.
