REPORTS LOST  [4/30/2006 12:33:11 AM]  - mike
A notice to at least three readers that send in reports. For some reason your reports did not post and are not on the web site. My apologies to you. I know one was from Slabking (lake Washington) and another was from a Pine lake angler. I can't recall the third report. If you don't see your report it was probably one of them. Mike

A Request to the Readers  [4/18/2006 12:08:30 AM]  - mike
I have recently been receiving all kinds of non-fishing related items on the fishing report forms. In some cases there are no return e-mail addresses so I can't respond back. I would ask that you use the fishing report form for fishing reports only. Other issues should be addressed on the Forum. Thank you for your help in this matter! Mike

Panhandle Lake Retreat  [3/23/2006 11:05:37 AM]  - Aaron


Now that the weather is improving and we're heading into Summer, it's time to start thinking about what to do with that spare vacation time. Putting a little fishing into the mix is always a great idea. Last year my wife and I were able to get away for a very relaxing weekend at Panhandle Lake, so I thought I might dredge up the Featured Lake article we wrote and give you a few ideas for getting away from it all and still have a great fishing experience. The fishing was great, the scenery and environment was unmatched, and overall, it was the best vacation/retreat we've ever had. Here's some links to get you started:
