Mary Lake is a lake in King County, Washington and covers about 1.73 acres.
Mary Lake is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Mary Lake include Brook Trout, Cutthroat Trout, and Rainbow Trout.
During a return to the best bank near a shaded bank in clear water, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
How to Read the Water
During the first pass near the downwind side while the water is falling, 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 a firm-bottom flat near visible bait, 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 the first hour near a soft-to-hard bottom change with light wind, 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 pass near a windblown shore before changing depth, record the wind, water color, lure depth that worked, 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.
