I live in south King County, and Trout Lake is my favorite local bass lake, followed by Dolloff and North.

Sweet pic,

I have many favorites...Trout is great but right now I'd have to say Lake Kapowsin.
This lake has been pretty hot recently and its an added bonus to see WDFW Wardens and Pierce County
Sheriffs Deputies patrolling the launch.

Am going to have to hit Kapowsin again soon it looks like. Trout is a good one also. My favorite thought I have limited access to it is Lewis. Then there is Long in Kitsap ... Long in Thurston ... damn ... too much water way to little time ... LOL.

I say my all time fav is North lake. I lost an 8 on time. I caught a 6 and local forum member certified it for me.

I like Lake Sixteen in Skagit. Close to home, not too busy, electric motors only, very few resident around the lake, and steady bass action. Armstron in Snohomish county would be a close second.

I landed a 5.5 out of North earlier this summer, which is why it's on my list hehe

Moses. All our "local" lakes either don't have bass, are too crowded with pleasure boaters, or are overrun with yahoos. I'm out of East Wenatchee.

i live in spokane. i fish silver, long, and newman. i fish silver the most and have gotten several over four lbs. this year already. i love newman too. the pads can be deadly when the fish are there. me and buddy hit back to back 4 #ers there about three weeks ago. and long lake just for the numbers. i havent got anything too big a few two and three pound smallies. but when we fish it we usually get tons of action which is always fun.

I don't think it would be fair to my "harem" of lakes to list one as a favorite. My favorites list would probably include about a hundred lakes.

For me I'd say Sawyer with WaWa a close 2nd,..Sawyer has some PIGS and both species of BASS and I've caught some nice CHUNKS outta there,..WaWa is right down the street and with sooooooooo much water 2 cover is very challenging but I get tired of the SMB,..if WaWa produced more LMB for my time spent on it it would definately be my 1st choice bar none!

Lake Saint Clair is my all time favorite lake. SO MANY FISH of all species there. American is a pretty close second on my list though. Honorable mention to Kapowsin, Rapjon and Tanwax.

I'll have to say Union, despite living within spitting distance of Dolloff, North, Trout, 5 Miles, Steel, Geneva, and Kilarney. I know they are latter are good, but they really suck in the shore accessibility department which doesn't help a shorebound fool like me.

I'd rather drive to Seattle where I have a good shot a smallies even if it's a 50 mile round trip. #-o
