Title: Any advice for a first timer at Lake Scanewa for springers?
Post by: mmullins on April 11, 2016, 11:12:38 AM: I just got a new boat and I am looking to try out a new lake. Been doing some research on Lake Scanewa and really want to try and hit it up. From what I found you want to try and be there in the day of or day after Tacoma power stocks it(which I can't find any info on that). What kind of gear do you use? Same set up as you would trolling the Columbia? Mooch herring? Maglips? Whicked lures? This would be my first go at it and it's a long trip. If anyone has advice to help out would be great.

2 loads went up today!
