Picnic Point Lake is a lake in Washington, near Snohomish County.
Picnic Point Lake is a lake in Snohomish County, Washington and covers about 4.7 acres.
The small size of Picnic Point Lake makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
Fish listed for Picnic Point Lake include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Coastal Cutthroat Trout, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Rainbow Trout.
During the first hour near the mouth of a pocket while the water is rising, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a short evening pass near a shallow shelf while the water is falling, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a cold winter outing near a windblown shore with light wind, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a low-light period near a small drop where two features meet, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a check of nearby water near a channel bend 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.
While using one pass along the first break near a clean gravel patch under flat light, early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again.
During an overcast morning near a rocky edge near visible bait, 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 methodical search near the mouth of a pocket beside useful cover, 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.
