Lake Dorothy 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.
Lake Dorothy in King County is a lake in Washington and covers about 260.9 acres.
Several patterns can work at once on Lake Dorothy, especially when wind separates clear water from dirty water.
Fish listed for Lake Dorothy include Brook Trout and Brown Trout.
During a cold winter outing near a shaded bank before changing areas, work a small minnow bait, spoon, or streamer along cool breaks and moving water for brown trout.
During a return to the best bank near the outside weed line with a slow lure, Cutthroat Trout, and 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 last hour of daylight near a rocky edge near visible bait, 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 one pass along the first break near the downwind side beside useful cover, spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search.
During a check of nearby water near a shaded bank 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 the first pass near a small drop 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.
