So much sadness. Please tell me it aint so. Those Browns from last Sept are still filling my dreams
Thanks for " Passing" that along....haha..!!
Well folks, if it is anything like last year, we won't be fishing Pass until at least December. Although, some of my best days have been in December.
Once the wind and a few cold nights come along, it will start to break it up.

Are we getting close?
I was just at Deception Pass Park camping through today. When I drove past Pass lake it was like pea soup. I don't want to the bearer of bad news, but we are going to need some cold nights and wind to kill/ dissipate the algae and for the state to say it is safe. They test it every two weeks at the boat launch.
I am sure the fish will be hungry for our flies when it does open.........

Yeah I drove by it today, Pea soup... with caution tape at the launch. From past experience I can assume that it would still be fishable ...Down the road is Heart Lake. Very clear water, some folks out fishing for stockers, but the Bass fishing opportunities on this lake can be worthwhile.
I wish......would love to be the first person out there though when the green light is given.....BTW, I don't recall seeing any reference to the " algae fly" in the book.......Well I drove by today and saw Jamie and Jim fishing at Pass. Had it to themselves!
You betcha. I'd like to see you catch some too next time.
I gotta fix the rowers seat soon.
Still pretty green as of a few days ago when I last drove by during the day.

So reading Tim’s post….is the lake still closed for fishing if the levels aren’t above state levels??
I've never actually gone down to the ramp to see what the sign says, but the ramp is blocked with cones and caution tape.
What color signs are posted? Check the 'Signs and Health Risks' tab on the state algae site. I would encourage anyone who hasn't to read through that page and at least understand the yellow vs red signs.
Beyond that, it would be nice to know for any 'yes' reading on a lake's chart if the level shown falls into the yellow sign or red sign category. If that info exists anywhere on the site I haven't run across it.
