Green Lake is a lake in Washington, near King County.
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.
Green Lake in King County is a lake in Washington and covers about 250 acres.
The best plan at Green Lake is to choose one arm or shoreline and work it from shallow cover to the first deep break.
Fish listed for Green Lake include Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, and Pumpkinseed.
During the first hour near a firm-bottom flat beside useful cover, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a cool spring morning near a quiet corner before changing depth, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
Brown Trout, Channel Catfish, Rainbow Trout, and Tiger Muskellunge have also been stocked here; that proves fish were released, but it does not promise that they are still common or easy to catch.
During a calm morning near a shallow shelf where two features meet, 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.
While using a shallow-to-deep search near the mouth of a pocket where two features meet, 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.
During a cold winter outing near the downwind side with a moving bait, 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 quick scouting pass near a narrow cove after warm rain, record the wind, water color, depth that held fish, 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.
