IF U ARE A BANK ANGLER, TRY TO AVOID FISHING IN THE MAIN PARK OF SPANAWAY WHERE U HAVE TO PAY TO GET IN. NOT ONLY IS THE DOCK FISHED OUT BUT MOST OF THE SHORELINE TOO. I HAVE FISHED THERE FOR YEARS AND THE BIGGEST TROUT I CAUGHT WAS ABOUT 15 INCHES. LOTS OF LITTLE ONES CAUGHT AROUND THE DOCK AND PARK AREA. NOT WORTH IT TO ME. BUT IF U WANT TO GET INTO SOME LARGER RAINBOWS, GO TO THE BRIDGE THAT U CAN SEE ACROSS THE LAKE.U ARE ALLOWED TO FISH OFF THE SIDES OF IT. SPACE IS KIND OF TIGHT, BUT ITS WORTH IT.ON JULY 21, ME AND MY BUDDY CAUGHT CAUGHT 6 REALLY NICE RAINBOWS 12 TO 23 INCHES. THE 23 INCHER BEING 4 POUNDS. WHAT A FIGHTER. AND THE REST OF THE RAINBOWS WERE ONE TO TWO POUNDS. BE SURE AND USE ABOUT A 4 FOOT LEADER, USING A SMALL TREBLE OR SINGLE HOOK, WITH ORANGE POWER BAIT OR SOME SPECIAL BAIT*I HAVE FROM CALIFORNIA. BE SURE AND TRY THIS SPOT EARLY IN THE MORNING, AND U SHOULD GET SOME NICE TROUT. GOOD LUCK!

*TELL ME HAS ANYONE EVER USED SIERRA GOLD TROUT BAIT. ITS LIKE POWER BAIT, BUT ONLY COMES IN GOLD AND GREEN. IT WORKS BETTER THAN POWER BAIT, AND FLOATS A HECK LOT BETTER. THE THING IS U CAN ONLY BUY IT IN CALIFORNIA. I USED TO LIVE THERE. I USED TO BUY IT AT A STORE CALLED TURNERS OUTDOORSMAN. I BELIEVE IF U CALL THEM THEY WILL SEND U A BOTTLE. GREAT STUFF. BUT NOT CHEAP. ABOUT SIX BUCKS A BOTTLE. GIVE IT A TRY.
