Virgin Lake is a lake in Washington, near Snohomish County.
Virgin Lake is a lake in Snohomish County, Washington and covers about 1.72 acres.
The small size of Virgin Lake makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
Fish listed for Virgin Lake include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Coastal Cutthroat Trout, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Rainbow Trout.
During a bright afternoon near a narrow cove before changing depth, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a methodical search near a quiet corner before changing depth, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a steady fall day near a clean gravel patch while the water is falling, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a short evening pass near the downwind side close to shade, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a careful second pass near the outside weed line with a moving bait, Make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break.
While using a short pass along useful shoreline near a quiet corner near firm bottom, 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.
During the first hour near a quiet corner with light wind, 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 cold winter outing near a small drop where food is present, 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.
