Marten Lake is a lake in Washington, near Skagit County.
Marten Lake in Skagit County is a lake in Washington and covers about 9.88 acres.
Marten Lake is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
During a bright afternoon near a windblown shore with stable weather, fish listed for Marten Lake include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Coastal Cutthroat Trout, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Rainbow Trout.
During a cool spring morning near a windblown shore with a slow lure, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a cool spring morning near the edge of deeper water with stable weather, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a low-light period near the mouth of a pocket where food is present, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a low-light period near a protected point with stable weather, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a warm summer afternoon near a channel bend near visible bait, Make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break.
While using one pass beside the best cover near a creek-side turn in stained water, 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 the first hour near the outside weed line near firm bottom, 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 careful second pass near a narrow cove with stable weather, record the wind, water color, water depth at the strike, 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.
