Where to take 2 young girls fishing (7&5)

[bcbassking]

I would like to take my girls out fishing Father's Day but they don't have the attention span to fish for bass like I do. I'm near Bellingham but don't mind traveling to Seattle area. Also I have a 18 foot bass boat that we are fishing out of. I'm looking for a lake with potential for lots of action, any panfish would be great.

As father's day approaches I would keep an eye on the lake reports section and see what is hitting where. It looks like at least a few of the Whatcom county lakes have had recent reports. http://www.washingtonlakes.com/CountyLa ... aspx?id=36" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

cassidy by marysville or heart by anacortes almost always produce for me.

Like TroutSnipr said I would watch the reports when the time gets closer. Cassidy lake has a good amount of crappie in it which are fun to catch and very tasty. Lake Stevens has a BUTT load of perch in it which can make for non stop action when you get on a school, also the occasinal small mouth and trout that are caught while perch fishing. I dont know about any of the lakes up north.

There are tons of lakes up that way that will do some good. I would say cassidy but a 18 foot boat would be pretty hard to launch, due to the shallow boat launch.
Perch fishing on stevens could be a really good idea.
I would save some gas and stay up north if i were you though, probably going to find the same fishing. Just check the reports sections youll find something
