Jade 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.
Jade Lake in the northern part of King County is a lake in Washington and covers about 23 acres.
The small size of Jade Lake makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
Fish listed for Jade Lake include Brown Trout, Cutthroat Trout, and Golden Trout.
During a check of nearby water near a small drop near visible bait, work a small minnow bait, spoon, or streamer along cool breaks and moving water for brown trout.
During the start of a weather change near a shaded bank where two features meet, 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 warm summer afternoon near a shaded bank where two features meet, 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 brief open-water pass near the mouth of a pocket before changing depth, early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again.
During a steady fall day near a shallow shelf away from empty shoreline, 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 the start of a weather change near a quiet corner near firm bottom, record the wind, water color, depth of the best 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.
