Crawfish Lake
Riverside, Washington, USA
Also known as Riverside, Omak, Okanogan Highlands
Which license you need on Crawfish Lake depends on where you are standing. The south half of it is Colville Reservation.
Fish from a boat and a Washington state license covers you, because the water counts as boundary water. Fish from the reservation shoreline and you need a permit from the Colville Tribes instead. The line runs across the middle of an eighty-acre lake.
The rest is quiet. It sits at about 4,485 feet in the Okanogan Highlands, twelve miles east of Riverside up Tunk Valley Road. Motors have been banned since 1996. There is a Forest Service campground on the north end with nineteen sites, eleven of them on the water.
Rainbow and brook trout are stocked, mostly running ten to twelve inches. Loons have been heard on the lake.

How this one was made
No difficulty in the outline on this one. Crawfish is a single rounded shape with an even edge, which means the dam sits half an inch off the waterline the whole way round and the flood goes in as one continuous run. What attention it needed went into the prep rather than the pour: maple takes color into open grain and there is no sanding a stain back out of a sixteenth of an inch. The type and compass are separate sections off in the bare wood.
