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.
Butch Evans Slough is a lake in King County, Washington and covers about 4.7 acres.
Butch Evans Slough is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
During the last hour of daylight near a narrow cove with a moving bait, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
During the first pass near a narrow cove in clear water, begin with one slow bottom presentation and one moving bait, then let bites show whether fish are holding close to cover or roaming open water.
During a careful second pass near the edge of deeper water beside useful cover, Cutthroat 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.
During the last hour of daylight near a windblown shore beside useful cover, 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.
While using one pass along the first break near a windblown shore before changing depth, 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.
During an overcast morning near a soft-to-hard bottom change where food is present, 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.
During a short evening pass near a clean gravel patch with a moving bait, record the wind, water color, depth where fish bit, 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.
