Sonny Boy Lakes is a lake in Skagit County, Washington.
No reliable acreage is listed for Sonny Boy Lakes, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.
Fish listed for Sonny Boy Lakes include Brook Trout, Cutthroat Trout, and Rainbow Trout.
During a check of nearby water near the downwind side while the water is falling, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a warm summer afternoon near the downwind side away from empty shoreline, 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 pass beside the best cover near the outside weed line while the water is rising, 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 the last hour of daylight near a rocky edge after warm rain, 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 return to the best bank near an open-water edge after a cold night, record the wind, water color, depth along the best drop, 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.
