At Sister Lake, for coho salmon, cast a spoon, spinner, or streamer along a creek mouth or active travel edge.

For pink salmon, cast a small bright spoon or fly where fresh fish are moving through current at Sister Lake.

How to Read the Water

At Sister Lake, start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it.

Season by Season

In spring, start with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace at Sister Lake.

A Simple Tackle Plan

When fishing Sister Lake, a medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle.

Around Sister Lake, record the wind, water color, depth where fish were holding, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce.
