Fish species in Duffey 1 Lake

Duffey 1 Lake is a lake in Snohomish County, Washington and covers about 3.3 acres.

The small size of Duffey 1 Lake makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Duffey 1 Lake include Rainbow Trout.

During a check of nearby water near a rocky edge close to shade, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.

How to Read the Water

During a low-light period near the downwind side after warm rain, start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it.

Season by Season

While using one pass beside the best cover near an open-water edge away from empty shoreline, 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 cold winter outing near a firm-bottom flat with stable weather, 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 an overcast morning near a clean gravel patch in clear water, record the wind, water color, depth along the active edge, 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.
