Neori Lake is a lake in Skagit County, Washington and covers about 12.48 acres.
The small size of Neori Lake makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Neori Lake include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Coastal Cutthroat Trout, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Rainbow Trout.
During a bright afternoon near a clean gravel patch while the water is falling, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a cold winter outing near a protected point after a cold night, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During the start of a weather change near a channel bend with light wind, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a check of nearby water near a quiet corner near visible bait, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
How to Read the Water
During a short evening pass near scattered wood while the water is falling, 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.
Season by Season
While using one protected-water check near a creek-side turn while the water is falling, spring fishing starts with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace.
A Simple Tackle Plan
During a methodical search 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 a cool spring morning near a firm-bottom flat where food is present, 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.
