Thanks everyone! I really appreciate all of your responses. I can't wait to get at it! Hey JeepMcMuddy, what species are catchable in Vancouver Lake.....I'm originally from Jersey, and this trout fishing stuff is new to me. I'm used to going after the bass, blue gill, pickerel, catfish and perch.....I love fishing for those, but I think I really want to try this trout thing on for size. I have fished Hagg Lake in Oregon for trout, but this will be my first experience in SW Washington and I'm looking for some spots that I can become a regular at!
