Washington State Lakes

@jfkraus Do you put in at the State Park or is there another ramp somewhere?

We put in at the State Park. We were staying there in our RV in the loop right next to the ramp. It's not a huge lake and the water is usually so low that we can't launch. It was fun getting out there this year and just hanging out on the water. It's a beautiful spot!

We go as a family on the 3rd so we will overlap a day or so. Caught some walleye while there last week...here is a 20" fish that was delicious.

We came home a couple of days early and the park was half empty...lot's of smoke. We had two clearish days in the five we stayed. Still a great time and the smoke kept the mosquitoes at bay - first time I haven't used any insect repellant in a few years!

We were there July 29-August 4 and had great weather. Smoky the last three days, but not too bad. And no mosquitoes at all. Apparently they started a new and different anti-mosquito technique that is very effective (http://www.grandcoulee.com/story/2016/08/03/news/mosquito-treatment-scheduled-for-banks-lake/7654.html).

if anyone is interested in steamboat rock camping we have an extra reservation for august 3rd for 10 days. Its site #86 in the dune loop. you wont find a better waterfront site at banks lake. I would rather see a jetboat member get it before I cancel it and it goes to the general public
