June Lake in King County is a lake in Washington and covers about 2.8 acres.
During a steady fall day near a shallow shelf under flat light, June Lake is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for June Lake include Brook Trout and Rainbow Trout.
During the first pass near a quiet corner before changing depth, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a steady fall day near the outside weed line while the water is falling, 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 low-light period near scattered wood while the water is falling, 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.
Season by Season
While using a shallow-to-deep search near scattered wood 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.
A Simple Tackle Plan
During a careful second pass near the downwind side in stained water, 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 low-light period near a small drop with light wind, 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.
