Mine would have to be...
Banks lake - Great lake for rainbow bass walleye. Have fished the lake for years. Last April my dad an I hit the lake. By the end of the day we had caught and released many many nice sixed bass. And filled our ice chest with big fat rainbow. And a couple of walleye. Could you ask for anything more?

Rock lake south of Spokane. From Jan-till about April the brown and rainbow fishing is great!! My brother an I have fished this lake many many cold late winter days. Never disapointed. Some of the better days we caught and released about 100 fish togather. Fishing with wedding rings casting into the rocks long the shore line. Or trolling repalas. Most fish over 14 inches. And many over 18.

Fan lake north of Spokane. Quiet lake. Small. No gas motors. Great little lake. Nice big rainbows. Large mouth bass!! Shhhh.. Great perch fishing.

...being that I'm a closed mouthed fly fisherman, I'd have to say:

1) secret lake
2) anudder secret lake
3) and even one more secret lake

for real, it would have to be

1) can't tell lake
2) Silver Lake up where Pelican is
3) Lenore
and for international flavor,
4) most any trout lake in BC up around Kamloops/Williams Lake. Hihium and Pennask are the current ones in favor

in no particular order.

#1 Potholes

#2 Banks lake

#3 Wagner lake

1. Seep lakes behind Potholes,I know it's more than one.
2. Jameson
3. Tanwax

1. Chelan love those big lakers 2. sammamish BIG winter cuts 3.Washington same as sammamish

Well Floatuber can guess my number one....

DEEP LAKE!!! I love kokanee!!! Can't wait till next summer to hit them again!

Next would have to be Kapowsin... Great rainbow action if you get one on, and sometimes even some salmon get in there. Huge bass, nice cats if you can find them, and in the spring are some awesome perch days... 50 in a day is no problem at all on some days. The hunting is also notable, and with the people there being so friendly, its just a GREAT all round lake.

Next I'd say Potholes I guess. Good fish, good birds, and good food at Mar Don.

My 3 lakes on the old lewis river. Merwin, yale, swift.

In no Particular order

The Potholes (Includes entire Columbia Basin Project area)

Loon Lake (Uncle owned Silver Point so grewup on Loon)

Lake Crescent

Lake Cushman

The Answer to Deer Lake is it Spokane County or is it the next county No. just outside of towns of Deer Park & Clayton.

1. Banks
2. Banks
3. Banks

Everything else is a close 4th.

I haven't been to all that many lakes enough times to really know them well, but out of the ones I have been to quite a lot, here's my favorites:

1 - Kapowsin (big lake with good fishing and no %$#& jetskiers)
2 - Five Mile
3 - Trout (King Co.)

Same problem I had w/the women. I like em all!
To pick 3 of the best:
Nunnally: For the ease of having consistant 30- 40 fish days
on flies for large trout once you know what the feed of
the day is.
Chopaka: For the scenery and comraderie with other good
flyfishermen.
Rock Lake:In Canada,for that all alone remote feeling, surrounded
by 5# trout that will jump higher than your head sitting
in the pontoon.
