  What are people fishing for in Greenlake?

  0 0 Yes there are trout. They don't naturally reproduce so they're all hatchery plants. The lake also has a large carp population. These guys grow up to 40 lbs and people from former soviet block countries will actually eat them. At one time the lake was planted with Tiger Muskie to control the carp. That's a cross between a northern pike and a Muskie and they'll grow to 30 lbs. They look like a freshwater barracuda. philips answered in Other - Sport & Rec. 11 months ago Answer, comment & read 3 more answers »

  Trout fishing?

  0 0 You'll need a license which you can get from the WDFW website or from any Fred Meyer. I'm pretty sure the John's River is under selective gear rules which means only single barbless hooks can be used. Also no bait is allowed, only artificial lures with one hook. You'll be fine if you're fly fishing but if you're gear fishing you'll need to cut off the two extra hooks from the treble hook. When you buy a license you'll get a booklet that explains all these rules. You can also download the booklet from the WDFW website as a PDF. I'm a fly guy so I'd recommend a 5 weight fly rod and an assortment of streamers and dry flies. Any fly shop can set you up with the right stuff. And really, if you're going to fish for trout, fly fishing is the only honest way to do so. If you want more info, Google the Washington Fly Fishing website and search the forums for posts about the John's River. Fly fishing is not just a way to fish, it's a spiritual practice. I like to spend at least 30 minutes looking at the water before I begin to fish. Focussed attention on the natural world is a mitzvah. philips answered in Sports & Recreation about 1 year ago Answer, comment & read 2 more answers »

  What are some good campfire songs?

  1 0 Blank Generation, Stray Cat Strut and Fogtown can all be played with the same 4 chord progression. Bm, A, G, Gflat. Try it as a medley! Also Googoomuck by the Cramps is a song and a scary campfire story all in one! philips answered in Arts & Music over 2 years ago Answer, comment & read 10 more answers »
