Thanks for the post. Were there very many boats up there today? Any snow on the road? Obviously, Ive never been to Merwin, dont have any idea how far up in the mts it is. I saw a Joy of Fishing show recently where the they were catching kokes like crazy. It may have been a last years show!! From all the reports at Lake Stevens, American Lake and now Merwin, i have to conclude its just too early and wait for some warmer weather. 101goodpost101
