Sikes Lake is a lake in Washington, near King County.
Sikes Lake is a lake in King County, Washington and covers about 13.84 acres.
The small size of Sikes Lake makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
Fish listed for Sikes Lake include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Coastal Cutthroat Trout, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Rainbow Trout.
During a warm summer afternoon near the downwind side away from empty shoreline, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a quick scouting pass near the downwind side away from empty shoreline, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During the final pass near a shaded bank after a cold night, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a low-light period near scattered wood after a cold night, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a short evening pass near a protected point 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 one protected-water check near an open-water edge before changing depth, spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search.
During a short evening pass near a clean gravel patch near firm bottom, 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 the final pass near a channel bend where food is present, 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.
