Sub Zero Lake is a lake in Whatcom County, Washington and covers about 9.6 acres.
On a water as small as Sub Zero Lake, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.
During a cool spring morning near scattered wood with a slow lure, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
During an overcast morning near scattered wood while the water is falling, begin with one slow bottom presentation and one moving bait, then let bites show whether fish are holding close to cover or roaming open water.
During a check of nearby water near the mouth of a pocket where two features meet, Golden Trout, and Rainbow Trout have also been stocked here; that proves fish were released, but it does not promise that they are still common or easy to catch.
During a return to the best bank near the mouth of a pocket while the water is falling, start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it.
While using a careful look at water color near a soft-to-hard bottom change in stained water, 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 a check of nearby water near scattered wood under flat light, a medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle.
During an overcast morning near the mouth of a pocket in clear water, record the wind, water color, depth of the first good 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.
