Let's Do Alder this Saturday if possible. I know it's short notice but Like I said, this is the busiest time of year for me, and I've been working alot of weekends lately. I think I have this one off. Let's get some Launch info and breakfast locations if any one has any suggestions, because I have not fished this lake before.

Thanx Dan

Dang.  Was hoping to make this one, but truck is in the shop after taking a hit from a huge tree branch that fell on it during a windstorm over at Banks.  Will have to try again later.  Sorry.

Todd I don't even know where the launch is Grin. I'm kinda wingin' this one if you can't tell. But that's how it goes. I'll have Christy help me find directions to the launch site so stay posted. As for breakfast... ... I'll look for a place but i can't guarantee I'll find a suitable location. You mght actually have to eat on your own Cry

I believe the best choices for breakfast would be on the Mountain Hi-way out in Spanaway or at the Shari's in Puyallup. The only place that serves breakfast in Eatonville opens at 8 AM.

No worries Dan,

If there's no breakfast meet I'll make do. What time are we going to launch?

The directions I found are to 50423 school rd Eatonville, wa 98328. It does mention a second launch but I can't seem to locate an address for it.

I will get there after leaving the Bay Area of California via Alaskan Air lines and arriving at Sea-Tac. Then will shuttle to were my truck is, drive home and get some sleep. Wake up, hook up the G3 and drive south to the launch.   Wink   It has been a few years but I still remember how to get there.   Smiley

This is Christy...
I found an old post from 2007 with directions.  Smiley  Ironic that it is happens to be the same lake and the same day.  It looks like there will be two launches at the park, but the one closest to the entrance (not Rocky Point) is the best one to use and it is free.  The people at the park also told me to get there early because they fill up fast. 
Good luck tomorrow!
Christy


The August Fish-In will be at Alder Lake on August 11.


"Directions to Alder Lake Launch:

http://www.tacomapower.com/parksandpower/parks_recreation/recreation/boating.htm #alder

"Open year-round, lake level permitting, the Alder Lake Boat Launch is the first area you come to as you enter Alder Lake Park. The boat launch includes a two-lane launch with dock, parking and restrooms. See Map below.

From Tacoma, take Interstate 5 south to State Route 512. Travel east on SR 512 about 2 miles to the Pacific Avenue exit (SR 7). Go south on SR 7 about 27 miles to the intersection with School Road at the Alder Parks Store. Turn right and follow the signs to Alder Lake Park." "
