Lily Lake near Buckley: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Pierce County, Washington, is where Lily Lake sits. This is mixed woodland country. This is a pocket water of some 9 acres, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. The town to know is Buckley, 13 miles out. Then Crocker, 14 miles, and Enumclaw, 14 miles. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lily Lake

  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Open biodiversity records for Pierce County list pink salmon, sockeye salmon, largemouth bass and Chum salmon. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. Treat Lily Lake as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical August readings run about 57°F; by January the average is down near 31°F. Spring and autumn are the strongest, but nothing is truly closed. Some winters give nothing at all, so plan for open water. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to fish here. Expect Lily Lake to follow that timing.
