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.

Hummingbird Lake is a lake in King County, Washington and covers about 2.8 acres.

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

Fish and Baits

During the last hour of daylight near scattered wood beside useful cover, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

During a steady fall day near a small drop beside useful cover, 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 steady fall day near the mouth of a pocket before changing depth, Cutthroat 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.

How to Read the Water

During a cold winter outing near a shaded bank before changing areas, Make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break.

Season by Season

While using a quick look at firm bottom near a clean gravel patch under flat light, 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 a return to the best bank near the downwind side near firm bottom, 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 the start of a weather change near a protected point with a slow lure, record the wind, water color, lure depth that 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.
