Stillwater Recommendations near Leavenworth?

Stillwater Fanatic
In the third week of September, I will be in Leavenworth for a hiking and fishing trip with my daughter and her fiancée and trying some German cuisine of coarse :). We already have a day tripped to hike around 6 miles into an Alpine Lake that I have fished before, but I am going to be there a day earlier and would like to hit some Stillwaters with in a hour or so of Leavenworth. I want to save my legs for our planned big hike, but wouldn't mind spending the day going to a drive up or <1 mile hike stillwater. I will have my FatCat and Ultralite float tube with me.

I did do some research and this is what the internet is telling me are my best options:

Fish Lake (Drive Up) - Browns and Rainbows available.
Evans Lake (<1 mile hike) - Wild Cutthroat
Beehive Reservoir - Internet says it has Rainbows and Tigers.

Honorable Mention was Lake Wenatchee if the wind isn't too bad.

Any intel on these stillwaters or other that someone is willing to share? Any recent reports from any of these lakes? Feel free to DM me if you prefer not to share your information to the public.

Thanks,
Peach
 
Regarding Fish Lake, be very careful of the winds that can blow hard around noon. Zero to whitecaps in seconds.
