Lake Louise is a lake in Washington, near Pierce 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 Louise in Pierce County is a lake in Washington and covers about 38.2 acres.
Lake Louise can be broken down in a few passes: shallow cover, the first break, and the deepest useful water.
Fish listed for Lake Louise include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Coastal Cutthroat Trout, Common Carp, Largemouth Bass, Largescale Sucker, Northern Pikeminnow, Peamouth Chub, Pumpkinseed, Smallmouth Bass, and Yellow Perch.
During a low-light period near the first break before changing depth, keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf for yellow perch.
During the first pass near scattered wood after warm rain, fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops for black crappie.
During a quick scouting pass near a channel bend after a cold night, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a calm morning near a creek-side turn with stable weather, drag a tube or Ned rig across rock and the hard edge of a point for smallmouth bass.
During a calm morning near a shallow shelf with light wind, Other targets listed here include Largemouth Bass, Brown Bullhead, and Common Carp; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig.
During an overcast morning near scattered wood after warm rain, 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 bright afternoon near a quiet corner with light wind, 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 short check of nearby structure near the downwind side with stable weather, spring fishing starts with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace.
During the last hour of daylight near a windblown shore before changing areas, 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 hour near a rocky edge with a slow lure, record the wind, water color, depth where the lure was hit, 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.
