Fishing near Parkland, Washington

Nearest to furthest: Tule Lake 1.6 miles, Wapato Lake 3.0 miles to the north, Spanaway Lake 3.2 miles, Gravelly Lake 4.6 miles to the west then Lost Lake 5.3 miles. At Lost Lake the inflow corner is the place when rain has been through. Some winters cap these and some do not. Some winters give nothing at all in the way of a lid. Standing water makes up nearly all of it. Bars and shallow humps are worth finding before you fish. Tule Lake is the near option, about 11 acres in size. Tule Lake is the easiest to reach with a car. Open records for Pierce County list pink salmon, sockeye salmon, largemouth bass and Chum salmon. The number within reach grows once you widen the circle.
