Cub Lake in Skagit County is a lake in Washington and covers about 10.1 acres.
Cub Lake is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Cub Lake include Cutthroat Trout and Golden Trout.
During a cool spring morning near a creek-side turn in stained water, 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 the final pass near a narrow cove 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 quick look at firm bottom near a small drop beside useful cover, spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search.
A Simple Tackle Plan
During a slow shoreline pass near the outside weed line before changing depth, 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 hour near a creek-side turn under flat light, 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.
