there sure are some nice trout in goodwin. wish the perch were bigger but oh well. some people don't know you can chum in goodwin. a little corn really brings the trout around. we either use worms or yellow or orange power bait, cast a short distance and leave a slack line. this last Sunday the weather was horrible but we had a great time and limited out as we have almost all summer. we've taken several 2 to 5 pounders this year. i don't know why we bother with eastern wa except there's no walleye here. sometimes we are the only people on the lake (goodwin). the fish seem to gather in different spots at different times of the year. it took us an hour to find them Sunday. they were in 38 feet of water beyond the point of the state park and starving.

Where do you live? I have been hitting Banks Lake all year for dynamite Walleye fishing. I can't go every weekend do to economics and honey do's but we have just done trumendous on Walleye fishing over there. I have fished Goodwin three times. Caught a few smallmouth and a bunch of 6 inch perch. You would think there has to be some bigger perch.

We are always looking for more people to go over to the other side to split costs. Let me know if you are interested.

hey joe! we went to banks lake this summer for the first time and stayed at the horribly expensive sunbanks. didn't know how nice the state campground was. we also had no idea where to get the walleye. we got two and they weren't that big. we've usually gone to the potholes and stayed at mardon. but the fishing there has been really poor the last few years. how and where did you get the walleye at banks? have you tried rufus woods lake for trout or walleye? they have some monster trout there. i would suggest you get your honey a tool kit for christmas. would appreciate advice on banks. we live in lynnwood. heather
