Headed out to Lk Desire and was surprised to find the gate locked! Never seen it closed before. So I headed over to Lake Meridian and launched at about 8 am. Trolled once around the lake with no bites and saw no risers. One other fisherman on the lake. He followed me back to the launch and was equally dismayed at today's lack of action. I had a long line back 60' and a down rigger set to 16' on the wire. Nice weather today, just no fishes to speak of. I wonder if Desire would have been any better. Anybody know who to call about the park being closed? I can't understand why they would ever close that lake!

We were recently locked out as well at a WDFW access site on a year-round lake. Through a phone call to WDFW, we were informed that this practice minimizes vandalism and littering during the "off-season". Other lakes that have public access during the "regular" fishing season are gated in the winter to pleasure boaters (not fishing) as well to keep the smaller lakes quiet for the locals. Hmmm. Public access, but not really. This may have been the reason for the Lk Desire closure as well.
