Sutton Lake in King County is a lake in Washington and covers about 3.71 acres.
The small size of Sutton Lake makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Sutton Lake include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Coastal Cutthroat Trout, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Rainbow Trout.
During the final pass near a shaded bank in clear water, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a bright afternoon near a clean gravel patch close to shade, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a quick scouting pass near a soft-to-hard bottom change beside useful cover, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During the start of a weather change near a protected point while the water is falling, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
How to Read the Water
During a calm morning near a shaded bank after a cold night, 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 point-to-pocket comparison near a shaded bank close to shade, shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move.
A Simple Tackle Plan
During a methodical search near a firm-bottom flat 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 the last hour of daylight near a quiet corner away from empty shoreline, 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.
