Title: Trolling for trout near Olympia
Post by: MIKEXRAY on March 30, 2008, 10:43:52 AM: I live in King co and want to bring the kids down to fish with Grandpa near Olympia. Can anyone recommend a lake to troll for trout ? Not going until after the opener in April. Prefer smaller lakes with lots of trout for kids to not get bored. 16'boat & need a launch. Thanks.

Yep. And they usually stock St. Clair at the end of March.
