White Lake in King County is a lake in Washington and covers about 6.67 acres.
On a water as small as White Lake, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for White Lake include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Coastal Cutthroat Trout, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Rainbow Trout.
During the first hour near a quiet corner in stained water, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During the final pass near the downwind side with a moving bait, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a slow shoreline pass near a protected point close to shade, 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 the mouth of a pocket while the water is rising, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
How to Read the Water
During a slow shoreline pass near a rocky edge 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.
Season by Season
While using one protected-water check near a shallow shelf close to shade, 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 start of a weather change near the mouth of a pocket beside useful cover, 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 the downwind side with stable weather, record the wind, water color, water depth at the strike, 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.
