Clear Lake by Eatonville before the jet skiers wake up. Alder Lake but you need longer anchor ropes there.

Alder, go back into the Nisqually Arm, no wake zone and the bay near the end is only 50 ft deep. nothing but Kokes.

 Is the Nisqually arm where the river comes in to the north?

You can chum in Lake Stevens.  What I have done was buy a bag of Purina fish chow, soak, freeze,  then throw your frozen block in a mesh bag and toss over side.

Loon lake in eastern Washington, From Memorial day on it looks like a floating city at night. 10 fish limit

Watch out for the idiots who don't have lights!!!!

The kokes coming out of Roosevelt are going to 4 pounds and close to 20 inches.

Being boat-less, I've caught a number of Roosevelt's rainbows from shore, but never the kokanee. Is it possible to catch those kokanee from shore and of so...HOW?

Sorry 3nails, I forgot about this thread
Nisqually arm is to the SW corner, behind a floating log boom with an opening for boats. From the boat ramp go right around the NW point of the island then straight south to the where you enter.
Most troll in the large bay near the end. Fish average about 12 - 14 inches. Late season up to 18 in. I have seen people jigging and bobbering as well.

I would venture to say anyone fishing them at nite has some sort of light, perhaps not what you might consider lites but they all have something.
Might be the ballcap style but they are fishing and some go to the extreme of having flashing led's located at the waterline.
Last summer there was a pontoon that had his own light show going most of the night.

Yeah maybe so however it is still near impossible to see them because running lights usually mess up my night vision. We always got this $15 light bulb that sat inside a styrofoam "hat" and plugged right into the battery.

Work with a guy who's kids do well off their dock at nite still fishing under it, but not heard of any from the beach.
Before the invention of the floating light my dad used to put a car head light in a 3 pound tin coffee can and then drop it over the side. It did what it was intended to do with out a lot of advertisement.
