Moses Lake Day Trip
January 31, 2009

Moses Lake is a good place this time of the year for any of the big three. Fish can be in the deep hole, near the flood gate, reefs, spoils, and marsh. Avoid inside the flood gate as it has dangerous strong currents.
Watch the tides, the wind, weather and temperature and dress appropriately, always wear your PFD.
Be prepared to renew your membership if it is due and to resign your insurance waiver.  

Skill Level: Beginner

Note: Paddling distance is approximately 2 miles to deep hole with reefs and spoils within a mile. There can be considerable boat traffic in the area, be very careful if the fog moves in. Move to outside the boating lanes.
