Hello,
I am avery novice fly fisherman [cast once or twice] and someone gave me a float tube. I live in Kirkland and wondering about best places to practise float tubing and casting? Small lakes? Thank you.

Any of the small lakes around the area would probably work, but Beaver Lake and Pine Lake both offer a good environment for that. Good luck and have fun.

I know you said small lakes, but if you are in Kirkland and just want to practice you could probably just hit some of the Lake Washington Parks near you and just kick up & down the shoreline.
I fish not because I regard fishing as being terribly important, but because I suspect that so many of the other concerns of men are equally unimportant, and not nearly so much fun. ~ John Volker

@pranzini....I know it's not a lake, but Sammamish River in Woodinville at Wilmot Gateway Park has been good practicing grounds for me lately. I live in Kirkland by Juanita Beach as well and it's only about a 10 minute drive. I will actually be there today if you want to try it out.
