• Where to Fish on Lake Twentytwo

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Across Snohomish County, recorded fish include Chinook salmon, pink salmon, Coho salmon and largemouth bass. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. Lake Twentytwo fishes better once you know its edges.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is 34°F to 60°F. Mild ends to the year keep the season long. In milder years the edges alone go, and the middle never sets. November and March are the quiet, comfortable months to be out. Lake Twentytwo runs to its own calendar within the local pattern. Nights draw in quickly late in the season, so plan the walk back.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. A phone call first saves an afternoon. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Hempel Lake sits 0.6 miles off and takes the overflow.
