Northwest Fishing Reports

The 2016 annual boat launch pass for Lake Tapps and Spanaway Lake is available for purchase at the Spanaway Lake boathouse. The price has gone up by $25 so the launch pass now costs $100 (Pierce County residents). Note - if you wish to buy a pass at the boathouse, it's a cash-only purchase.

I love when I have to pay to fish or launch at Spanaway lake when WDFW stocks this lake. There should be no charge at this lake or any other they stock to fish it. I really wish they would tell Pierce county a WDFW vehicle access pass should be able to get in for free and launch for free or no more fish. Not right in my book and needs to stop.

How much has it gone up for a daily use?

So when Sportsman dollars purchased the fish for stocking how can they keep you guys out. Someone needs to be all over the region office. Perhaps collecting a citation or two then name the WDFW as a Plaintiff in a inquiry.
