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.

Diobsud - Middle Lake is a lake in Whatcom County, Washington and covers about 3.8 acres.

On a water as small as Diobsud - Middle Lake, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.

Fish and Baits

During the first pass near a rocky edge while the water is falling, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

During the first hour near a channel bend before changing depth, 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 check of nearby water near the mouth of a pocket while the water is falling, 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 a warm summer afternoon near a shaded bank while the water is rising, 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 one check of the nearest drop near the downwind side after a cold night, spring fishing starts 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.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During a careful second pass near an open-water edge with light wind, 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 steady fall day near a creek-side turn after a cold night, record the wind, water color, depth of the best pass, 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.
