Short report on 2 lakes close to where I live..

Lake Aberdeen and Lake Sylvia....Wow, have never seen this few of people, on a opening day, in my 50+ years living in this area.

I knew because it was a "middle of the week opening" that the numbers of people might be lower than many years but compared to many years, it was "almost no one".

Parking was no problem, very few boats, and most people were spaced well apart.

Wish I had the time to go to Failor Lake and the ponds along the hiway in the Elma area....maybe someone else might report on these and any other lakes.

I don't know, but WDFW license sales have got to be at a "all time low"....

Stay safe.....






I went out to Aberdeen Lake in the afternoon and was shocked how few people were out. I prefer to hit Aberdeen Lake in the afternoon on opening day and it is usually still has plenty of fishermen, and just people out walking and getting some air. You would think there would be plenty of walkers since everyone has been cooped up for so long, but there were none. It was very unsettling to say the least.
