Hi Paul I really don't have any suggestions but did want to say welcome back home or as my generation used to say "Welcome to the world". According to the list there are a number of lakes that seem to be fishing pretty good and any one of them would seem to be a good bet. If I was heading out for the weekend I would probably head for the lower Deschutes at Maupin, OR. for a little trout fishing. I would fish small nymphs below a weighted stone fly nymph and keep my eyes peeled for a BWO hatch. Any number of campgrounds below and above Maupin. Below freezing at night. Not too handy to Fort Lewis with the added complication of an out of state license. Hopefully someone will have a better suggestion. Good luck. Jim Jones [EMAIL PROTECTED]
