I went to American Lake (Tacoma) on Thursday, it was really fun, even though we didn't catch many fish. We only caught two rainbows, pretty small ones too. I think it was because we didn't get there until 8am, and it was already starting to get hot (this was the day it was like 90 degrees out).

This is a beautiful lake...we saw bald eagles all day, at one point there were like 5 flying over us. Also, what looked like fighter planes, were practicing over us, somtimes 5 or 6 at a time (because McCord Airforce Base is right near there).

The boat launch wasn't too bad, neither were the skiers, I think because it was during the week. As we were leaving (around 12:30), the launch was starting to get busy, but not too bad.

Just wanted to share...
