[Drumdog]

[racfish]

I heard its open season on Swedes.Got to release the native Swedes but the smaller cupcake ones are legal game.Where ever y'all go this weekend be extremely carefull .Have a great time.G-d be with you all.

[The Quadfather]

I'll be at work:-({|= If I fish after work or on Sunday it will be a year round lake that dosen't see opening day pressure!:cheers:

I know that lake, And I'll be there between 9:00-10:00 HA.

[Joe Heater]

I will be camping down at Mt. Rainier. Still don't see how you guys do this. Overgrown farm ponds, bank to bank boats, a bunch of hand fed trout. I don't see the magnicance of this event. But I wasn't raised here. Go get em...

[Gotcha]

Ahh, I'll most likely get spending opening day at home. The weather over here on the east side isn't going to be the greatest plus I've still got a cast on my right hand.

I'll still have plenty of time to hit it after the hand is all healed up.

I used to think that same thing but once you get out their and catch 20 trout in a few hours its hard not to come back next year. also its more of a social thing for me cause practically half the town goes. don't get me wrong I'd rather be up in a secluded mt. lake but you take what you get...

I'm fishing at heart lake in skagit county

[hewesfisher]

Anywhere but a lake that opens on the 25th, I despise opening day and the zoo that comes with it. We'll be at Roosevelt just like last year. No crowds, good company, and nice fishing.

[Mossy]

will be volunteering my day off by cleaning and building a better camp dartlow through my work. Then I'll be reading the new post on here about "opening weekend nightmares" :rambo:

[Jsmooth]

Opening day, I'll pass on that headache. But I will be hitting West Medical on the following Tues. in AM hours. No crowd, no traffic, no worries. My 8 yr old has finnaly got the courage to go on the boat w/ daddy, WOOT!

[YellowBear]

I will be in the seep lakes looking for Walleye and Smallmouth.

[Bassmaster3000]

I will be fishing clear lake on saturday, and then fish lake on sunday. I have been waiting all year to go to fish lake, but with the way the weather is lookin' over here, rain and cloudy, I wanna' get out on clear lake and throw some spinnerbaits for some 6LB bucketmouths!!!! woooooooo!!!!!!

[Rich McVey]

I'll more than likely do the Tapps thing. I try to stay away from the opening day crowds.

Same here, We have Codys baseball pics and a game that morning then running to Cabelas for lunch and shopping.

We'll be hitting Tapps at first light Sunday morning.

[Bodofish]

I'll be at Wapato, Rosa...... anywhere I can find a little sun. :compress: I need to burn some of the moss off.....

Good luck on Sunday. I'm still somewhat kicking around the idea of Tanwax on Opening Day...Not something I usually
do and I'm not ready to fight for fishing holes and truck/boat parking but I've been wanting to get the family out here
over some perch,crappie,bass....whichever for a long time,basically from the time it closed. So what 'em I saying?...
I have no idea yet...probably Tapps on Saturday.

You a walleye guy by any chance?

[hewesfisher]

A walleye guy wanna be. I only catch them through dumb luck.

I joined the Spokane Walleye Club last month hoping I might learn something from them, time will tell.

[dave g]

we'll be at rufus this opener. it'll be the first real fishing trip in the new (well, new to me) smokercraft i picked up this spring. we were there a few weeks ago and did a little fishing getting the bugs out of her, but it was more a pleasure cruise than fishin trip really. hoping to do a little better this trip, but it's all good, And, there won't be opening day zoo as i foresee in the newly opening lakes.

[shawn]

I think I will be at Ludlow Lake over in Jefferson County.Friend of mine turned me on to that lake last year. So I thought I would hit it up.If not that maybe Horseshoe Lake in Kitsap County.Be careful out there and tight lines.

[Rollin with Rolland]

I'll do the deal. Tradition. And you know what I like about it....I see WAY more people involved in fishing than any other time. YES, it can be a pain, and not so attractive to the more experienced anglers, but let's take a step back, and think about the whole picture. This is the SUPER BOWL of WA State fishing. The MASTERS, the WORLD SERIES. Do you know what people pay for advertising during the SUPER BOWL? Even though some of us despise it, you can't argue it is a great stage to promote fishing, involvement, and conservation. Whether it's trout, bass, walleye, halibut....let's catch some fish! I'm sure I'll be chatting with many Sat., clean water and kids all the way!!



(PS....yes, I will be collecting Power Bait from the windy side of the lakes and reselling it as "rainbow color" for $2 a jar... )
