Lake Martha is a lake in Washington, near Snohomish County.
Lake Martha is a lake in Snohomish County, Washington and covers about 59.8 acres.
During the first hour near a firm-bottom flat with a moving bait, a point, weed edge, or small drop is more important than simply covering the whole shoreline.
Fish listed for Lake Martha include Black Crappie, Brown Trout, Largemouth Bass, Rainbow Trout, and Yellow Perch.
During a warm summer afternoon near the mouth of a pocket with a moving bait, keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf for yellow perch.
During a bright afternoon near the downwind side beside useful cover, fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops for black crappie.
During a careful second pass near a clean gravel patch while the water is rising, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During an overcast morning near a soft-to-hard bottom change after warm rain, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a low-light period near a narrow cove after a cold night, Other targets listed here include Brown Trout; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig.
During a steady fall day near the mouth of a pocket after a cold night, start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it.
While using a simple two-depth check near a soft-to-hard bottom change while the water is falling, 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 windblown shore 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 first hour near a quiet corner near visible bait, 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.
