Fish species in Annette Lake

Official stocking history

Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.

Annette Lake is a lake in King County, Washington.

Use the shape you can see at Annette Lake: check the best cover, the first drop, and one open-water line before moving.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Annette Lake include Brook Trout and Cutthroat Trout.

During a steady fall day near a soft-to-hard bottom change before changing depth, rainbow Trout have also been stocked here; that proves fish were released, but it does not promise that they are still common or easy to catch.

How to Read the Water

During an overcast morning near a soft-to-hard bottom change under flat light, do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself.

Season by Season

While using one pass beside the best cover near a small drop where food is present, shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During the first pass near a small drop away from empty shoreline, a light spinning rod, thin line, a few small spoons, inline spinners, and jigs cover the listed trout; carry one slightly heavier setup when other fish or windy water call for more control.

During the final pass near the first break away from empty shoreline, record the wind, water color, depth of the working lure, 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.
