Georges Lake

Georges Lake is a lake in King County, Washington and covers about 0.4 acres.

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

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Georges Lake include Rainbow Trout.

During a methodical search near a channel bend away from empty shoreline, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.

How to Read the Water

During a warm summer afternoon near the outside weed line with a slow lure, 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 a simple look at cover and depth near a creek-side turn after a cold night, early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During the final pass near the edge of deeper water beside useful cover, 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 pass near a narrow cove after warm rain, record the wind, water color, depth where the bait worked, 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.
