Stitch Lake is a lake in Snohomish County, Washington and covers about 9.14 acres.
On a water as small as Stitch Lake, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Stitch Lake include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Coastal Cutthroat Trout, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Rainbow Trout.
During a return to the best bank near an open-water edge with a moving bait, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a careful second pass near the edge of deeper water with stable weather, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During the last hour of daylight near a windblown shore with a slow lure, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a low-light period near a creek-side turn near visible bait, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
How to Read the Water
During a bright afternoon near a channel bend away from empty shoreline, 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 a brief open-water pass near a quiet corner under flat light, 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.
A Simple Tackle Plan
During an overcast morning near the outside weed line with light wind, 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 cold winter outing near the outside weed line near visible bait, record the wind, water color, depth of the best pass, 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.
