Northwest Fishing Reports

Looking at Riffe this week - never been. Anyone know if there is a boat-in spot big enuf for two small tents?

As far as I know all the land around that lake is private and does not allow camping. There are a few campgrounds at each end of the lake. Now that being said I have seen and walked thru some camp areas at the edge of the lake during hunting season, I came thru the woods on foot but there are some there but not sure of the rules. you could clearly see where people put up tents and made camp and tied up boats. Good luck be safe the wind can kick up bad on the lake so be careful.

Thanks much, Hunter

There are 1-2 islands (depending on water level) just east of the launch at Mossyrock park and I've seen people set up camps on the eastern island on the west side of it. Legality I don't know, but you are pretty well protected from the wind there.

yes there is alot of places to pull over and camp...most of the shoreline is timber companies and they dont mind if you keep it clean and dont start any forest fires..thats theyre job..lol..the east end has a bunch of nice spots close to tadnipam

I believe 150' up from High water mark is considered part of the lake. yes lots and lots of places to camp, keep it clean!

Thanks, everyone! Yup... keeping it clean is my thing; pack it all out and pick up all the other trash I find. I always end up taking out one or two 40 gal trash bags full of the kids' garbage.

Glad you found a good spot and thank you for cleaning up the extra. I do the same as well and when hunting in the hills seem to always find peoples garbage along the way and throw it in the back of my truck. Keeps it clean for the next person!!

Did you fish?
