First of the year

They maybe small, but I wasn't even sure if there were fish in this pond to begin with . Now my wife wants me to take her out. Anybody know of any spots within 1-2 hrs of Lacey that has decent small mouth fishing from the bank? Or a place where I can rent a boat within 1-2 hrs of here to catch some smallies.

Kopoweson(spelling)  used to have quite  few bass in it.

I think spanaway has smallies and I think you can rent boats there too.

Some fish is better then no fish

 Spot on here

 I am not too sure if there are any lakes other than maybe Riffe and Alder that have smallies and you can actually bank fish it in places.

black lake has a lot of smallmouth in it, but the bank access isn't the greatest.  maybe try at the outlet where black lake belmore road crosses the ditch.
