Janicke Slough is a lake in King County, Washington and covers about 10.13 acres.

Fish listed for Janicke Slough include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Coastal Cutthroat Trout, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Rainbow Trout.
During a warm summer afternoon near the mouth of a pocket where food is present, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a methodical search near scattered wood where food is present, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a short evening pass near a channel bend after warm rain, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a return to the best bank near a protected point where two features meet, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During the first hour near a creek-side turn with a slow lure, 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 simple look at cover and depth near a windblown shore before changing areas, 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 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 steady fall day near a protected point near firm bottom, record the wind, water color, depth where fish bit, 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.
