Just a word of caution, dress for a spill.  You may not plan on taking a plunge, but this time of the year will literally kill you if you accidentally go in without proper gear.

Excellent advice Fred.
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

have you thought about going out after a mess of perch?
darn tasty and super easy to catch..no trolling required. 
lots of good places on Lake WA very close to access points so you wouldn't need to paddle far..just pick your days wind wise.

That will be with worms? Any recommendations for spots to start at?

Thanks

worms and then when you catch a little one, use perch meat for bait.
