Thanks for the tips guys. I am thinking about getting an aluminum boat I can slide into the back of my truck. An electric trolling motor should work for my needs. If anyone fishes Black Lake in Olympia, here are a few tricks this time of year.
In the evening, troll in front of Evergreen shores with a dry fly. Just use a spin cast, no swivel etc. Let it create a V on the surface about 40' back. It's a riot to see the trout fly out of the water at it. When it starts to get dark, head on over to that little cove just North of there and anchor down bow and stearn in about 15' of water. Fish a worm on a Naked hook (Term Rob at Offut Lake Resort calls it), that is no weight, swivel etc. Cast out about 10' - if your lucky, and let it float down an settle on top of the weedbed. Soon good size trout, and catfish start feeding and find your offering.

This pic was from Offut lake resort a week ago doing the same thing off their dock.
