Where to take some young girls fishing

Post by ral » Thu May 26, 2011 9:11 pm

I have promised to take my friend's daughters (aged 9 & 10) fishing. I mostly fly fish from a one man pontoon so my normal approach will not work. I am looking for a place on the East Side (samamish area) where I can take the girls with a reasonable chance of them catching something - trout, bass, perch sunfish - from the shoreline. This not the kind of fishing I usually do. Any suggestions? I plan to use spinning gear and bait. I am thinking of Pine Lake or Beaver Lake....

If you are talking about simple shore fishing, and the 9/ 10 year old girls just want to pull something up. I would maybe consider some of the little urban lakes in Bellevue, such as Phantom, or Larsen. More likely phantom. Beaver lake to me is far from guaranteed fish on the shore. Somebody can chime in on Pine lake dock fishing if they like. But those little oddball lakes like phantom don't get the pressure of pine and beaver. Doesn't matter what they catch, just fish on the line.
