Hi Yu Lake is a lake in Whatcom County, Washington.
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.
Hi Yu Lake is a lake in Whatcom County, Washington and covers about 3.2 acres.
The small size of Hi Yu Lake makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
During the first hour near a windblown shore after a cold night, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
During the first pass near a firm-bottom flat with a moving bait, begin with one slow bottom presentation and one moving bait, then let bites show whether fish are holding close to cover or roaming open water.
During a careful second pass near the downwind side while the water is rising, rainbow Trout 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 short evening pass near the downwind side with stable weather, 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 brief open-water pass near a shallow shelf 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.
During the last hour of daylight near a clean gravel patch with a slow lure, 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 low-light period near the downwind side in clear water, record the wind, water color, depth of the first good pass, 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.
