I can tell where you were! I've driven past there and seen them there often. That water will freeze soon though, you better hit them again soon. Goldeneye are fun to shoot when they are going full speed, we shoot them down on the Big river when the mallards don't want to play.

Uhm, if those were killed along the coast here in Washington, maybe the regs should be reread concerning goldeneyes.

My bet is they are close to Spokane, and not near the coast.

My best days bird hunting were shooting scoters and goldeneyes.
When I pass, do not let my wife sell the guns for what I told her they cost.

Have not seen a lot of birds this year but have seen more goldeneye than ever.
Maturity is when you have the power to destroy someone who did you wrong but instead you breathe, walk away, and let life take care of them.

nice shootin guys...yeah I have seen a lot of goldeneye out there too ...I got 4 on a private pond near there as part of my 90 second limit ... 2 greenheads, 1 pintail and 4 goldies...      question .... I always hunted the south end of that lake using my dad's boat... so I never went to the "walk-in" side, my question is: is that side shallow enough to set up a spread of dekes out to 20 yards or so? or do you just have to put  them in close? or is it just pass shooting with a mandatory dog for downed birds?

A boat makes it easier for sure. we use a dogs and put them as far as we can with waders or we use our little boat.  the bottom is pretty soft for waders
