Green Lake is a lake in Washington, near Whatcom County.
Green Lake in the north-central part of Whatcom County is a lake in Washington and covers about 78.02 acres.
During the final pass near a narrow cove with a moving bait, Green Lake is compact enough to fish slowly, but a change in weeds or bottom can still split it into separate patterns.
During a cold winter outing near the first break in stained water, fish listed for Green Lake include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Coastal Cutthroat Trout, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Rainbow Trout.
During a methodical search near a soft-to-hard bottom change close to shade, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a low-light period near the outside weed line after a cold night, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a careful second pass near a channel bend while the water is falling, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During the first pass near a windblown shore before changing areas, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a warm summer afternoon near a protected point near firm bottom, 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.
While using a brief open-water pass near a creek-side turn away from empty shoreline, spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search.
During a low-light period near the outside weed line where food is present, 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 methodical search near the edge of deeper water close to shade, record the wind, water color, depth beside useful cover, 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.
