Fish species in Azure Lake

Azure Lake in Whatcom County is a lake in Washington and covers about 83.77 acres.

Azure Lake can be broken down in a few passes: shallow cover, the first break, and the deepest useful water.

Fish and Baits

During the first hour near a channel bend near visible bait, fish listed for Azure Lake include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Coastal Cutthroat Trout, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Rainbow Trout.

During a check of nearby water near the downwind side under flat light, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.

During a warm summer afternoon near scattered wood with a slow lure, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.

During a cold winter outing near a clean gravel patch after a cold night, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.

During a return to the best bank near a clean gravel patch before changing areas, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.

How to Read the Water

During a slow shoreline pass near an open-water edge after warm rain, Make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break.

Season by Season

While using a shallow-to-deep search near the outside weed line 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 final pass near a firm-bottom flat near visible bait, 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 first pass near a windblown shore where two features meet, record the wind, water color, depth where the lure was hit, 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.
