Shamrock Lake is a lake in Washington, near King County.
Shamrock Lake is a lake in King County, Washington and covers about 8.4 acres.
Shamrock Lake is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
Fish listed for Shamrock Lake include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Coastal Cutthroat Trout, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Rainbow Trout.
During a cool spring morning near a quiet corner beside useful cover, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During the first hour near a soft-to-hard bottom change while the water is falling, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a careful second pass near a soft-to-hard bottom change with a slow lure, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During the first hour near a soft-to-hard bottom change before changing areas, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During the last hour of daylight near a shaded bank after warm rain, 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.
While using a shallow-to-deep search near a shallow shelf near visible bait, 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.
During the final pass near scattered wood while the water is rising, 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 short evening pass near the outside weed line with light wind, record the wind, water color, depth where the bait 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.
