Official stocking history

Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.

Sulphur Mtn Lake is a lake in Snohomish County, Washington and covers about 4.9 acres.

The small size of Sulphur Mtn Lake makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.

Fish and Baits

During the first pass near scattered wood before changing areas, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

During a bright afternoon near a windblown shore close to shade, 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 return to the best bank near a firm-bottom flat away from empty shoreline, 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.

How to Read the Water

During a return to the best bank near a channel bend with a slow lure, 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.

Season by Season

While using a brief open-water pass near scattered wood before changing areas, spring fishing starts with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During the first hour near a narrow cove in clear water, 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 the last hour of daylight near a channel bend where two features meet, record the wind, water color, depth that held fish, 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.
