I'm pretty sure I'm going to be putting together a fishing rendezvous for late next Spring. I'm planning on Marshall Lake in Pend O'reille county the third weekend of June '09. It's located just 7 miles from Newport Washington so there will be plenty of amenities available close by. I think a 3 day camping outing will be the venue. There is a small bait shop at the lake and the resort has boat rentals. There are other lakes in the area to fish as well as the Pend O'reille River. The river sports Large Mouth & Small Mouth bass and Northern Pike. Marshall Lake itself has Cutthroat Trout. You can see a report of the lake posted at the following link;

We could make this an annual event if there is enough interest. I'd like to call it the "Annual Kaniksu Rendezvous." This is an absolutely beautiful lake and I think it would be almost impossible not to get your fill of enjoyment and relaxation. This would be a no charge event, but each member would be responsible for their own camp space fee and/or boat rental. The public access is right next to the resort and wide enough to launch several boats at once.
Do we have any interest here? Email me or PM me in you are interested.
Let me know. It's a beautiful lake.
