Fish species in Embro Lake

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.

Embro Lake is a lake in King County, Washington and covers about 9.4 acres.

Embro Lake is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Embro Lake include Brook Trout, Cutthroat Trout, and Rainbow Trout.

During a bright afternoon near an open-water edge in stained water, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.

Chinook Salmon 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 bright afternoon near a soft-to-hard bottom change in clear water, use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket.

Season by Season

While using a quick comparison of two banks near the outside weed line after a cold night, 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 first hour near a small drop 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 a bright afternoon near the first break near visible bait, record the wind, water color, depth that produced twice, 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.
