			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am blessed to live in an area of Spokane County which is surrounded by lakes.  I have finally started fishing them!  I just listed a couple properties in Loon Lake.  One of them has lake access through Morgan Park, a subdivision on the north side of the lake.  You can check out a tour of that listing at www.MyCountryHomes.com.  The point is, I am going to take advantage of that listing to do some shore fishing here in a month when the season opens!</p>
<p>In the meantime, here is some internet research on the lake.</p>
<p>Here is some information from the Washington State Department of Ecology:</p>
<p><strong>LOON LAKE &#8212; STEVENS COUNTY: 1997 </p>
<p>Size (acres)                        1100<br />
Maximum Depth (feet)                 100<br />
Mean Depth (feet)                     46<br />
Lake Volume (acre-feet)            50600<br />
Drainage Area (square miles)       14.10<br />
Altitude (feet)                     2381<br />
Shoreline Length (miles)             7.9</strong></p>
<p><em><a href="http://mycompactfishing.com/blog/?attachment_id=244" rel="attachment wp-att-244"><img src="http://mycompactfishing.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/loon-lake-department-of-ecology1.gif" alt="loon lake department of ecology" title="loon lake department of ecology" width="750" height="712" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-244" /></a></p>
<p>There is a lot of other generic information through which most folks will not enjoy plowing.  For the severely masochistic, here is the link:  http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/eap/lakes/wq/docs/lkloost1.html<br />
<strong><br />
Shore Acres Resort has a great description of the fishing opportunities. Here it is in toto.  Their link is at the end:</strong></p>
<p>Fishing at Shore Acres Resort<br />
Fishing season begins in April and ends in October. Loon Lake is considered one of the best fishery&#8217;s in the entire area.<br />
Loon Lake is one of Eastern Washington&#8217;s largest lakes covering over 1100 acres. The water is crystal clear, coming from a natural spring, and reaches a depth of 140 feet. Elevation at Loon Lake is 2400 feet.<br />
Fish species include<strong> Kokanee, Mackinaw, Small &#038; Largemouth Bass, Rainbow Trout, Brown Trout &#038; Eastern Brook Trout</strong>. In addition there are <strong>Perch, Crappie, Brown Bullhead Catfish </strong>and <strong>Pumpkinseed Sunfish</strong>.</p>
<p>Check the Fishing in Washington Regulation Pamphlet for rules on freshwater fishing and eastside lakes. Youth under 15 years of age do not need a license to fish. License requirements and fees are available from the Washington Department of Fish &#038; Wildlife. Recreational fishing licenses can be purchased at All Seasons Grocery and Hardware in the town of Loon Lake.</p>
<p>Pontoon boat and aluminum fishing boats are available to rent. Reservations are recommended. Ask about hourly and weekly rates.</p>
<p>Boat launch and moorage are available if you&#8217;ll be bringing your own boat. Ask about weekly, monthly and seasonal boat slip rates. We also have boat fuel available.</p>
<p>We carry a variety of fishing tackle and live bait.</p>
<p>When you arrive, ask for a map of Loon Lake&#8217;s favorite fishing spots.  </p>
<p>Here is their link:  http://www.shoreacresresort.com/fishing.html</p>
<p>(Incidentally, I believe this resort and a huge piece of land is available for sale.  If you are interested, please contact me as I am a licensed Realtor. (CompactFishing@gmail.com))</p>
<p>This lake has another resort at Granite Point.  There is also a public dock near the NW corner of the lake.  As with all other state access points, you need to buy a public parks parking sticker to park there.</p>
<p>The silvers are a great fish to catch here.  Any of our rods using the Top Water Tip would be great for these soft biting fish.  </p>
<p>Enjoy this great fishing experience!  Only about 5 weeks to go.  (Usually opens 31 April but check with the State.) </p>
