Northwest Fishing Reports

I live in Snoho County, and was wondering (as I've never gone for pan fish in the winter) what their movement in the lakes are like in the fall and winter, and what patterns work for them. I figure if they are caught under the ice in the Midwest, they ought to be had in the PNW!! Any ideas of good winter or fall lakes would be great as well! I plan on going after some local salmon, but want something to take the kids out to that doesn't involve moving water, or 9' rods.

Thanks!
