Lake Kapowsin

[RavensdaleYoungBuck]

Hey,
Just wondering if anybody has hunted lake Kapowsin in Pierce County. It looks like a nice lake and is legal to shoot at. Let me know if anyone has any info.
Thanks

Heard of guys hunting it. Don't think there's a lot in the immediate area to draw or hold a lot of birds or keep them wanting to be at the lake

[RavensdaleYoungBuck]

Alright. I might try some decoys and sit in the trees and get lucky. We will see

Been there once and we didn't even get to shoot. Also heard of guys  getting a few birds. I wouldnt count on it holding birds though, just not in the best area for fowl.

There will be a magical week or so of scaup and ringers out there. Other than that your looking at few mallards, tons of mergansers and bufflehead, and some widgeon. Late late late you may get lucky on a couple geese, however I wouldn't hold my breath. I quit hunting that lake because of low numbers of birds and high numbers of stumps.

Yep, used to hunt it a lot 20-30 years ago, but stopped for the same reason. Was always best when everthing was frozen and had to bust ice to get out, also would bust through the brush draging and pushing a small jon boat into the bigger pockets of water back in the marsh area and do very well with mallards, widgon & geese. But that was a loooooong time ago  . You may have a chance for a week or two but you would have to hit it at the perfect time.

Watch out for stumps! No way I would ever head out on that lake in the predawn darkness on a cold winter morning. Surprised more boats don't sink/flip on that lake.

There use to be a blind set at the south end of lake by the railroad tracks we use to take a canoe out to it early in the morning.  We would park at the little trail at the last pull off down orivil road and pack the canoe to the lake its not far. Good luck

i think maybe all 3 of us can go out sometime i think that would be cool haha

[Andrew8235]

yah dont get me wrong, there are plenty of places to go that are much better but, its the first place i ever duck hunted, and i love how close it is to me

[akirkland]

Fair at best. Not a lake i would travel to for birds though. Fun for locals but thats it.

As a kid I hunted it hard.  We did pretty good early...  But there are areas which the birds hit first.  Just look at the areas where the birds are out of the wind.

The stumps are brutal!

It is an easy close to home hunt but I have never done well there. Couple bills. Etc. It gets hunted hard. The blind on the south end is huge and trashed, it is pointless as far as camo goes. Couple other spots out of the wind on the back side.
