No need to wait for your favorite lake to open next weekend.
Lots of the year round lakes have been fishing really well the past month.
Chironomid hatches have been very strong lately. I've also seen some nice fish caught by folks trolling gear.

Nice fish dude...those are some hawgs

Were you fishing a lake in the Tacoma area by any chance

Robbo,
Not in the Tacoma area, but there is a lake down there that I'm sure you know of that has been kicking out some awfully nice browns recently. Last year was excellent. Need to head down there soon.

Roger that. Read between the lines

Nice fish nonetheless and hope you can continue to avoid the crowds and enjoy good fishing after the opener. Gotta love it
