Regarding your lake report for Long Lake in Kitsap county. If you have 6 or more licensed anglers you will need to get a permit for this. Permit isn't very expensive, but there are some things you will need to do to keep yourself and the other anglers out of hot water. By the way I may be interested in fishing, have never fished there but hear that it produces pretty well.

Here is the information off the WDFW web page:

Fishing Contests
A fishing contest is defined as any event where six or more licensed anglers (age 15 and older) fish competitively for game fish and determine winners, regardless of the prize value. A permit is required by the department and the fee is $24.00 per permit (no more than seven permits will be issued to any one permittee during the calendar year). Applications for fishing contest permits may be submitted at any time of the year, but they must be received by the department no less than 30 days prior to the start date of the proposed contest. However, applications for fishing contest permits for bass and walleye contests must be received by the department by November 1 of the year preceding the year in which the contests are planned to be held. These applications will be processed simultaneously so all applicants have an equal opportunity to get preferred dates. Bass and walleye fishing contest applications received after November 1 will be processed on a first come first serve basis. Upon completion of a fishing contest, a final report is required to be submitted within 30 days. Please see the link to the Washington Administrative Code (WAC) that governs fishing events for more detailed information. Applications and final report forms may be obtained from the department at 600 Capitol Way N., Olympia, WA 98501-1091 or by clicking on the appropriate link in the black box on the right.
