If it's private how are we suppose to fish it? Where is it?

just east of my area of Redmond:

http://www.zipmap.net/Washington/King_C ... lwater.htm

due west of Lake Joy, a little smaller, but more irregular shoreline. Zoom in and change the view to satelite. On the south shore it looks like the road skirts the edge of the lake. Maybe an access point for a personal pontoon to throw in? On the northeast shore there is a long wide paved area that leads right up to the lake and what looks to be a small launch. No way to tell if private or public. Someone is going to just have to go out and investigate. [unsure]

@Mike, I googled the lake and found some info that states it is for private use/reservoir. I figured this was a good place to reach a crowd of people and possibly get some info that confirms that. If so, maybe hear a fishing story or two about their private fishing heaven where the bass are gigantic and willing to bite all the time..... [drool] A guy can dream right? Im sure somebody on here knows or has fished it before, even if it is private. :-$

If you ever come across a private lake situation and there is a home/landowner nearby it never hurts to give a knock and ask them for permission. Of course I am referring to smaller privately owned bodies of water that aren't fully developed. (just looked the lake up haha)

I lived on the lake for 6 years. Very Private!!! you will be prosecuted for trespassing if you are not a homeowner in the sub-division. We even had to register are kids so they did not get run off from the park. I fished it literally thousands of times, great bass fishing, ok trout, ok bluegill. Many 4 to 5 lb. bass, a few in the 7-8 lb range, I know of one large female in the 10+ lb range. For numbers though I would go to Beaver lake in Sammamish.
