Re: Ledbetter Lake may lose public access

alot of places being closed because of vandalism and garbage. Carls lake access in Pend Oreille County appears to have been closed last year. That's sad. I did talk to WDFW Biologist Bill Baker and he is going to contact the property owner to see if this can be mutually resolved. Also, there is deb...

Ledbetter Lake may lose public access

Well it appears the residents of Northern Pend Oreille County may have lost their public access to Ledbetter Lake. I contacted the property owners (Lees Land & Cattle) and they confirmed the road has been permanently closed to the public. I am checking with Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife t...

Gotta love idiots who post pictures of their crime on social media

So this was in a private spokane facebook group and he was showing off the homeless camp across the river. Yeah, I pointed out to him that that section of river is closed. The Spokane River closed from 9 Mile Falls Dam to Idaho border between March 15 to the Saturday before Memorial Day every year f...

Re: Any restooms at the mouth of the Spokane?

Re: Rod and reel repair spokane. Business opportunity??

HELP!! The only fishing reel repair shop I know of in the Spokane area has closed down. I have used Larry's Rod and Reel Repair for several years and now they have closed up shop. When I just contacted him, he said he had closed down his business and it was for sale. I think this would be a great p...

Really sad seeing this lake go.....

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jaTWmzur9Mw&t=0s Video is aerial video of Mill Pond post-dam breach. Brought a tear to my eye. I grew up in the area and fished & camped there as a kid. Just seems senseless to remove the dam after it had been there for just shy of 100 years..... esp something that i...
