Fishing Hubbard Lake in Snohomish County, Washington

• Overview

  Hubbard Lake sits within Snohomish County in Washington. The ground round it is rolling hill. At roughly 5 acres, the whole thing is within casting reach of a single walk.

Nothing about the approach is difficult in dry weather.

• Where to Fish on Hubbard Lake

  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Snohomish County records list Chinook salmon, pink salmon, Coho salmon and largemouth bass among the fish reported. At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. Hubbard Lake responds to conditions more than to tactics.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give August about 62°F and December about 37°F. The season stretches long at both ends here. In milder years the edges alone go, and the middle never sets. November and March are the quiet, comfortable months to be out. Anyone fishing Hubbard Lake regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. Parking is close: a car park sits half a mile from the bank. Public toilets are recorded roughly half a mile off. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. If the gate is shut, Granite Falls Reservoir at 0.8 miles is the nearest alternative. For Hubbard Lake, the notice at the access point is the final word.
