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.

No See 'em Lake is a lake in Pierce County, Washington and covers about 0.6 acres.

The small size of No See 'em Lake makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.

Fish and Baits

During a quick scouting pass near the downwind side near visible bait, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

During a short evening pass near a narrow cove while the water is falling, begin with one slow bottom presentation and one moving bait, then let bites show whether fish are holding close to cover or roaming open water.

During a careful second pass near the outside weed line close to shade, 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 a cool spring morning near a shallow shelf before changing depth, 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 short cover-to-depth check near a rocky edge near firm bottom, shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During a methodical search near a rocky edge after a cold night, a medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle.

During a return to the best bank near a rocky edge where two features meet, record the wind, water color, depth that produced twice, 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.
