Island 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.
Island Lake in King County is a lake in Washington and covers about 17 acres.
On a water as small as Island Lake, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.
Fish listed for Island Lake include Brook Trout and Cutthroat Trout.
During a low-light period near a windblown shore near firm bottom, 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 the first pass near a shaded bank away from empty shoreline, do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself.
While using a simple look at cover and depth near the mouth of a pocket in stained water, 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.
During an overcast morning near a firm-bottom flat with stable weather, 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 cold winter outing near the outside weed line with stable weather, record the wind, water color, depth that produced twice, 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.
