If you drive up to OHOP, go another 30 min up the road to mineral. I got my first trout off of the dock when I was a young kid. They have a nice dock with a cover at the resort. No luck at the Kapowsin dock? There is always Bills Boathouse at American lake. I have always used an egg sinker, swivel, arms length leader and a snell hook. Now days gulp power eggs seem to be the bait of choice for the trout. There are many different combinations. Thats the fun of trout fishing. Keep on changing baits when the bite gets slow. Helps pass time.

Spanaway lake is another good option.

Harts lake has a resort with dock and boats. They catch big cats from the launch and some trout.

Tanwax has 2 resorts one rents boats, both have docks. Public launch has small amount of area that people use and they have caught trout.

Rapjohn has a public launch that people catch fish from.

Public launches are busy. They only have small amount of space and it is busy because of the boats.

Then Silver Lake...Dock and they use to have boats to rent...but I haven't been there is years. I heard the previous owners have taken it over again.

Bradley is all shore fishing but I think it is only for kids until June something.

Then in Lakewood there is WAUGHOP. It is in Ft. Steilacoom park. It is shore fishing only and I have never fished there but I have seen it because one end is next to Pierce College where I attended.

Alder lake may have lots of access but I have never fished it.

You can look at all the lakes in Pierce County by clicking on the lakes link on the home page and then clicking county index. Then click Pierce County on the map.

I fished the Lakeview resort dock a few weeks ago. Plenty of perch hanging out by there and the trout anglers
seem to be doing well.

Spanaway does have some shore access as long as you get there early as it fills quickly. But I am sure that is the case everywhere. Alder also seemed pretty good for me before I got my tube. Around Sunny Beach point if the swimmers are not there yet was alot of shore access for us also.
