6/30/2008 1:44:00 PMI didnt fish it last year but people were using gas motors on it. I think there is a 5mph speed limit though. Read the rules though, don't take my word for it. I may hit up Cassidy and blast those little guys.

6/30/2008 8:31:00 PMYeah there were a couple of boats w/ gas motors on the lake last night but they aren't allowed to go very fast. The boat launch is also VERY primitive. Trailers with big bass boats could easily get stuck in the muck.
Another big plus for Cassidy is that the shoreline is swampy so it isn't packed with houses. As a result, the lake isn't polluted with tons of phosphorous from people over-fertilizing their yards. No phosphorous = no algae bloom! I hate algae with a passion! Lake Stevens has big blobs of green goo suspended in the water and lures that pass through it get a coating of slime that's a pain to remove. If you happen to bump the bottom, you'll bring back a huge blob of the green slime. ICK!
