Fish species in Lone Lake

Official stocking history

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.

Lone Lake is a lake in Island County, Washington.

Without a dependable size figure for Lone Lake, weeds, rock, water color, and nearby depth are the best starting clues.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Lone Lake 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 warm summer afternoon near a shallow shelf with stable weather, keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf for yellow perch.

During a slow shoreline pass near a firm-bottom flat while the water is falling, fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops for black crappie.

During a methodical search near a channel bend while the water is rising, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.

During an overcast morning near a shallow shelf under flat light, drag a tube or Ned rig across rock and the hard edge of a point for smallmouth bass.

During a methodical search near a shallow shelf close to shade, 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 careful second pass near the edge of deeper water where two features meet, 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 the last hour of daylight near the edge of deeper water where food is present, 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 small search around the first point near the outside weed line with a slow lure, 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 low-light period near a small drop where food is present, 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 final pass near the mouth of a pocket with a moving bait, 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.
