well i think i now know the reason why such a beautiful lake, does not have a lot of pressure...i stopped by, on the way back from the cowlitz, to scout it out. 15 DOLLAR BOAT LAUNCH FEE, wow...is there by any chance another launch to use on American lake?
-
Yep... Take the Berkley <sp?> exit off I-5... Go west, follow it to the end and turn left. Follow it around.
Free, two ramps, no dock.
Enjoy

Well that is kinda cheating... :chuckle:

Be advised, the primitive boat ramp on the east side of the lake I is a magnet for thieves. I pulled my boat out a couple years ago and six rigs had their catalytic converters cut off in the parking lot. Also tons of break ins there.
It really makes the $15.00 worth it if your rig is safe while you fish.

That one, and the one at Kapowsin seem to have a permanent layer of window glass all over the parking lot.

I sure wish someone without a conscience would lay in wait for the parking lot thieves and start reducing their ability to walk away from the scene......Had one break into my rig to steal my ashtray with a small amount of loose change. Cost me more to buy a new one than the change that was in it....

Ya, I get a screwed up lock, paint on the door scratched all to heck by what I assume was a belt buckle and a broken window and nothing was stole. I probably shouldn't have locked it but it cost me $200 for the glass and the paint still looks like crap.
I want to believe there is a special place in hell for those people.

Just get a weekend/day pass to get on post, Head over to the North Fort side. Its only a $5 launch fee and no vehicle break ins

The Tillicompton launch has been cleaned up dramatically in the last few years. Lakewood cops and MP's patrol it regularly and they often take their hour long breaks there. I know for a fact the local gamie is in and out of there several times a day. I was there last week kokanee fishing and watched 3 gamies come through and ticket every rig without the discovery pass. I feel as if my rig is as safe there as it is on the Lake City side.

We were just out there last weekend off the free launch. It's patrolled a lot, everything was calm and quiet and lots of shore fishers w/family and kids seemed to keep the scum at bay.
It does say "discovery OR vehicle access pass" so your fishing pass is fine in place of the state discovery pass if you don't have one.
