WAC 232-16-295 Rock Lake Game
Reserve. Whitman County: It shall be unlawful
to hunt, take or pursue migratory waterfowl, coot
and jacksnipe on or within 1/4 mile of Rock Lake,
Whitman County, except on the lower one mile and
the upper one half mile, which shall be open to
such hunting.

1/14/2010 8:22:00 AMI have never hunted before or talked to any one who has. But there are several blinds built along the lower end. While we were fishing there were very few birds moving around during the day. About 3:30 or 4:00 in the afternoon the geese starting flying over, but it was really close to being too dark to shoot. I have thought about trying it myself, but never have. If you do I think first light and last light would be your best bet.

1/15/2010 2:24:00 PMThe ground around Rock Lake is ALL private. If you do want to hunt the lower mile, or the upper half mile, for water fowl, then you must obtain landowner permission.
I was invited by one of the Land Owners, but never went. I suppose that IF you build a blind below the high water mark you would be legal.
