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.

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
