water temperatures in Big Lake

I will be looking at some property on Big Lake this weekend. Some pictures of the lake that I was able to view showed the water color to be pretty green. Several Washington Lakes reports mentioned algae blooms. The info paragraph also indicated that there might be some trout in the lake. I know in t...

Re: Will purchase a small 4 stroke outboard. Need help!

Thanks to all for your comments. After reading pages and pages of comments regarding “kicker outboards” I decided someone somewhere, at some time, has voiced some negative comments about every kicker outboard ever made. Negative comments regarding his kicker made by my co-workers father-in-law were ...

Need help starting 1983 Mercury 9.8 hp

My neighbor gave me a 1983 Mercury 9.8 hp outboard. He doesn’t think the outboard has more than 40 hours on it. He might be right, the engine is very clean. He remembers changing the oil in the lower unit but doesn’t remember when. He doesn’t remember when the last time the outboard was run. He did ...

Re: 4-stroke on a 13 1/2 Gregor

My question regarding, ‘what was the heaviest outboard you could put on a 13 ½’ Gregor’ was poorly stated. Several years ago I replaced a 100 hp (2 stroke) Mercury with a 90 hp (4 stroke) Suzuki on a 17’ Arima. I liked the outboard, quiet, didn’t smoke, great gas mileage, and good performance. The o...

Re: Fishing dock (wheelchair accessible)

I visited Cottage Lake and the dock was packed. I will visit again at a different time. Tomorrow I will check out Pine Lake which I expect to be busy as well. I have never fished log boom park but it sounds promising. I have fished the Spokane area once but now I have three reasons to visit it again...

Re: Is this lure legal in Washington water?

Let's say you're fishing Lk Samm and you catch a 3 lb. Cutt trolling. The same day you pull a 3 lb. SMB off a bed with a dropshot worm. Fun and exciting! I think the SMB wins, hands down. :cheers: That said, I'm thinking about trolling (lead core) an 3 arm alabama and 3 #2 needlefish in the up comin...

Is this lure legal in Washington water?

Is this lure legal in Washington water?

Alabama Style Freshwater Umbrella Rig lure 3 arms, 1 single hook per arm for a total of 3 hooks.

I know that 4+ hook lures are illegal

I assume that a triple hook counts as 1.

Any comments are appreciated - [thumbsup]
