Paradise Lakes is a lake in King County, Washington and covers about 25.45 acres.
Paradise Lakes is compact enough to fish slowly, but a change in weeds or bottom can still split it into separate patterns.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Paradise Lakes include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Coastal Cutthroat Trout, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Rainbow Trout.
During a steady fall day near a shallow shelf where two features meet, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a check of nearby water near a quiet corner under flat light, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During the start of a weather change near a shallow shelf after warm rain, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During the start of a weather change near the mouth of a pocket after warm rain, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
How to Read the Water
During a methodical search near a narrow cove after warm rain, 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 one protected-water check near the downwind side close to shade, 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 the final pass near a rocky edge with stable weather, 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 the outside weed line where two features meet, record the wind, water color, depth near the strongest cover, 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.
