Went to MarDon... Left home at 2:30 AM, got there at 6 (I live in Enumclaw), and was disappointed.. The 150k fish they just released were like, 6 inches long. Fun for little kids I guess, but I was chasing the over-a-pound-trout I'm used to from Potholes..

For dads taking their kids, I'd definitely suggest potholes. You really can't keep them off your lines. Toss a bobber with a worm underneath it. Don't really need powerbait. If you want to catch and release a bunch, use REALLY small spinners and pinch the barbs... I'm sure you could release a hundred in a day.
