Title: Lake Kapowsin
Post by: Slamadoo on July 22, 2015, 11:34:55 PM: Thinking of taking my kid out on Lake Kapowsin. I've never fished there before and would appreciate all advise. I'm mostly concerned with 3 questions. 1) Are there any motor restrictions? 2) Is the water level conducive to boats right now? 3) Would you leave your truck at the WDFW boat launch?

I have a 14' Hi-Laker w/ 5hp motor. I figure we can catch a lot of fish w/ worms and keep it interesting for him.

Thanks Fellas
