Why dont you get a map, see the lakes inside your distance barrier, then look each one up online or on the paper version of the fishing regs booklet? Dont ever trust people for that info. So much changes all the time with regs.

there were several boats out and the ones i talked to all had a couple.
a little ways from Renton but the trout seem to be biting at least.
good luck

I don't have a boat, so anywhere I go would need to be shore/dock. Any suggestions there?

Washington and Samammish are difficult to find perch this time of year as they are deeeeeeeep. I know there is a pretty good population of cutts on Samammish but I have never fished them.

I have fished Lake Meridian a few times off the docks. Caught a few small ones.
