Sweetpea Lake is a lake in Skagit County, Washington.
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.
Sweetpea Lake is a lake in Skagit County, Washington and covers about 9 acres.
Sweetpea Lake is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
During an overcast morning near a rocky edge with light wind, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
During a careful second pass near a protected point beside useful cover, 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 short evening pass near a shaded bank before changing depth, 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 the last hour of daylight near a windblown shore near firm bottom, do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself.
While using a simple two-depth check near a shallow shelf 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.
During a return to the best bank near a windblown shore where food is present, 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 a steady fall day near scattered wood after a cold night, record the wind, water color, depth near the strongest cover, 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.
