Lake Report North Snohomish County

[aaronj]

I tired of waiting for Pass to open so yesterday I fished my other favorite local lake south of Stanwood. Had it all to myself save one dock fisherman. Water was 51 degrees. Rainbows were plentiful and hard-fighting but not keyed into any one food source or depth/location. 9 to hand at 12-16 inches, several LDRs, and numerous other strikes. It was a good day...

Did you try working the shallows?

Way to go Aaron! Way better than the lake we fished yesterday……

Did you try working the shallows?

I did. However, most fish were found deeper (10 - 20 ft), or out in the middle down to 10 ft. My fishfinder indicated there were fish in the shallows, but those could have been bass. I have never seen the schools of minnows in the shallows here such as what are found at Pass.

Bass are usually lethargic in winter. At least they never made themselves known to me in the past in the middle of winter.
