Lake Marie Fishing in King County, Washington

• Overview

  In Washington, Lake Marie belongs to King County. It stands 961 feet above sea level. The water measures roughly 10 acres, so nothing here is far from anything else. The nearest town is Fall City, 2.2 miles away. Then Snoqualmie, 3.4 miles, and Carnation, 6 miles. No boundary runs near, so the county rules hold throughout. Nothing here demands specialist tackle.

• Where to Fish on Lake Marie

  Without a survey to go on, judge depth from how the bank falls away. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Survey and observation records for King County include Chum salmon, Coho salmon and Chinook salmon. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. Take Lake Marie a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between December at about 38°F and August at about 64°F, the water has a wide range to work through. The awkward stretch is midsummer, not midwinter. Shade and hour of day matter more than month. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. Lake Marie runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. 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. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Kings Lake at 3.3 miles is the sensible second choice. Nothing on Lake Marie should be assumed from this page alone.
