You will find Cement Lake in King County, Washington. The bank is 4,154 feet above sea level. Small even by pond standards, it rewards one careful line. It is one of the smaller waters we list in King County. For supplies, Gold Bar is 14 miles out. The big place round here is Bellevue, 34 miles distant. The county line runs close by, so rules can change within a short drive.
Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Survey and observation records for King County include Chum salmon, Coho salmon and Chinook salmon. At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. Cement Lake gives up more to patience than to distance.
Average temperature peaks around 59°F in August and bottoms out near 29°F in December. Conditions shift steadily rather than sharply. It is not guaranteed from one year to the next. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. It sets the rhythm of the year at Cement Lake.
Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. Mapping shows an empty shoreline: no ramp, no jetty, no marked entry. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. If the gate is shut, Crosby Lake at 0.9 miles is the nearest alternative. Treat Cement Lake as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
