Does anyone know if there is some sort of buoy out on lake WA that lists the water temp for a live or at least frequently updated feed? Any help on this would be awesome.

Thanks,
Taylor

The UW Marine Bio. Dept. should be able to help you.

King County monitors Lake Washington water quality via buoys 24 hours a day year round, although there is a time lag of a few months before the data are posted on their website.

There used to be real-time buoys but one by one they were destroyed by boaters and other acts of vandalism (one was actually shot up according to the UW guys).
For near-time reports you are better off asking people that went out recently - the lag time on what remains out there makes it pretty useless unless you want to use the data to check trends.

I have a reliable source that told me Sunday : They had an average temp from Rainier Beach to Kenmore of 46*. I was fishing deeper water from docks and he calls me up to tell me he had caught a 3# largemouth in 2' of water. Of course I was skeptical until he showed up and produced the pics. Needless to say, I still run amok in skunkdom. Sooooon!

I was out there yesterday searching for my first bass and water was around 46. Oh yeah...still looking for my first bass still.
