Nine Hour Lake is a lake in Washington, near King County.
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.
Nine Hour Lake is a lake in King County, Washington and covers about 5.4 acres.
Nine Hour Lake is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
Fish listed for Nine Hour Lake include Brook Trout and Cutthroat Trout.
During a quick scouting pass near a protected point in clear water, 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.
During a careful second pass near the outside weed line where two features meet, do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself.
While using one check of the nearest drop near a quiet corner where two features meet, 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.
During a short evening pass near a firm-bottom flat in stained water, 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 calm morning near a shallow shelf with a slow lure, record the wind, water color, depth where the lure was hit, 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.
