Here is the info so far for the Silver Lake Draw Tourney, April 28 and 29.

Silver Lake Motel and Resort: http://www.silverlake-resort.com/ . Most people are staying here. Call for reservations at: (360) 274-6141. They have camping spots for rv's and tent spots that are pretty cheap. Cabins and rooms are very expensive.

Directions to Launch: Silver Lake, Cowlitz County  - Public Launch (Silver Lake Resort is the same way, just a few miles short of the launch)

Directions: Take I-5 south;  Take Exit 49 (Spirit Lake HWY 504) ;  Take  left off exit and go back over I-5 (Should pass a Burger King);  Stay straight for Approximately 8-9 miles (Past the Silver Lake Motel & Resort); Public launch is on  the right hand side.

FOR NEW FOLKS:
People normally get down to the Resort from mid afternoon until later at night on Friday. It is best to call for a reservation. You usually get your own dinner and hang out and drink sodas (some of us drink barley and hops sodas) until way too late and then go to bed for a few hours before getting up to get ready to launch.

On Saturday AM, we will meet at the public launch and Jim Rumann will have a drivers meeting where he will tell us the rules and draw for the nonboaters to see who thay wil go out with on day 1. I'm not sure of the weigh-in time. Jim will tell us down there, but he said that we are going to have our weigh in at the Silver Lake Resort's dock, as it is better for everyone to tie up at.

Best 5 fish each person each day.

After the weigh-in on Saturday, we either go to a restaurant or have a potluck. Again, not sure which will happen this time - depends on the weather.

To bed a little earlier (?) on Saturday night and do it all again on Sunday. Then weigh in, awards and go home.

Anybody who wants to add to this or mention something that I forgot, please feel free.

I am planning to get down there about 3 or 4 PM. I'll be in space #12 on the right when you first enter the Silver Lake Resort. If you want my cell #, send me a PM.

Cabin rental partners needed!!!!!

I called today to inquire about rates:  Motel Room $108.00 per day, Cabin $88.00 per day, Tent site $12.75 per day.  The main difference between the motel room and the cabin is the motel room is over the water and has cable tv and the cabin in on dry land and no tv.

Any one interested in sharing, I would like to rent a cabin.  I did this once before and I believe we had four people split the cost.  Two bedrooms, one couch and one slept on a air matress on the floor.  

Let me know if anyone is interested and I will book a cabin.

Thanks,

Chuck Pigue

Dayrl,

Hey Chuck I may be interested in sharing a cabin if we can get the split right for costs.

Carlos
