Alder Lake is even lower than it was last week. Most people have said they don't want Kapowsin, Clear Lake is too small, and St Clair is a long ways from where we were going anyway, so...

I have moved the Aug. 11 Fish-In to Lake Washington.

Everyone I have heard from is doing well on Washington right now, and it is close for most people. We'll go explore a new lake another month.

If you know of a member or guest who was planning to go, please call them and let them know about the change. I'll reach out to as many people as I can.

I am going.  I may launch at Coulon and make an early morning RUN to Mercer to meet up.  Should be good for my engine, been idling alot the last few trips.
See Ya there.

I would go if it's ok with the old lady.  It's her birthday and I don't think she'll like it if I go fishing that day.  Maybe I can go and come back before she wakes up.     If I do go, I'm only going to out there until 11am before I have to go to work.

Sorry guys...have an ongoing trailer wiring short to work on.....good luck all....should have not tried the slimer thing...BAD LUCK ALWAYS FOLLOWS SLIMERS

We had a great Fish-In today. Thanks to Pat S., Jim R., Jon, Chris B, Jose, Faz, Mark M. and our new member Scott W.

The weather was perfect and most everyone caught a fair number of fish. Jim R. had the big fish of 4 lb 9 oz smallie. Several people caught fish between 2 and 4 lbs. The fish were acught from all over the lake. Many on dropshots and tubes (and some on 3-ways).

The brats were actually very good today (Thanks to everyone for trying to make be feel better about the brats at Lawrence) but now that they turned out good, I see how bad they were before.

Washington turned out to to be a very good substitute for Alder today.

Thanks again, everyone who came out.

Scott,
  Glad to have you and welcome aboard.  It was a pleasure to have you out there and see you having some success.  Keep with it and you will be rewarded with some great times and great fishing with this club.
