Lake Number Twelve is a lake in King County, Washington.
Without a dependable size figure for Lake Number Twelve, weeds, rock, water color, and nearby depth are the best starting clues.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Lake Number Twelve 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 methodical search near a firm-bottom flat away from empty shoreline, keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf for yellow perch.
During an overcast morning near the first break with a moving bait, fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops for black crappie.
During a low-light period near a channel bend while the water is falling, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During the first hour near the mouth of a pocket close to shade, drag a tube or Ned rig across rock and the hard edge of a point for smallmouth bass.
During a cool spring morning near a firm-bottom flat in stained water, 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 a methodical search near a shaded bank 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.
How to Read the Water
During a calm morning near a quiet corner near firm bottom, 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 simple two-depth check near scattered wood after warm rain, 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.
A Simple Tackle Plan
During a warm summer afternoon near a shallow shelf near visible bait, 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 channel bend where food is present, record the wind, water color, depth of the best 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.
