Charlie Brown Lake Fishing near Tanner, Washington

• Overview

  Charlie Brown Lake lies in King County, Washington. The country here is open valley. A splashy cast here empties the swim; a quiet one owns it. It is one of the smaller waters we list in King County. For supplies, Tanner is 14 miles out. For a city, Bellevue is 34 miles off. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. Public data shows nothing built here, so treat the whole approach as informal. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. The nearest alternative is Lower Garfield Mountain Lake, 0.4 miles out. Rules at Charlie Brown Lake are worth checking on the day.
