Upper Lead King Lake is a lake in Washington, near Pend Oreille County.
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.
Upper Lead King Lake is a lake in Pend Oreille County, Washington and covers about 4.3 acres.
On a water as small as Upper Lead King Lake, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.
Fish listed for Upper Lead King Lake include Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Pumpkinseed, and Westslope Cutthroat Trout.
During a return to the best bank near a firm-bottom flat before changing areas, work a small minnow bait, spoon, or streamer along cool breaks and moving water for brown trout.
During a bright afternoon near a rocky edge where two features meet, Cutthroat Trout, Rainbow Trout, and Tiger 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 first hour near an open-water edge where food is present, 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.
While using a brief open-water pass near a narrow cove under flat light, 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 quick scouting pass near the downwind side with a moving bait, 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 short evening pass near a clean gravel patch after warm rain, record the wind, water color, lure depth that worked, 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.
