Seafield Lake near Forks: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Look for Seafield Lake in Clallam County, Washington. Elevation runs to 177 feet. Small at around 18 acres: two anglers spread out cover most of it. It lies lower than most water we list in Washington. The nearest place of any size is Forks, 22 miles away. Sooke lies 46 miles off, East Sooke another 48 miles. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Seafield Lake

  Depth figures are not published for this one. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. County-wide records name Coho salmon, rainbow trout, sockeye salmon and Chinook salmon. Several of these carry legal protection or closed seasons; the rulebook comes before the rod. Read Seafield Lake before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about 41°F and August at about 59°F, the water has a wide range to work through. The year gives four workable seasons without severe ends. Some winters give nothing at all, so plan for open water. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. That shapes the year on Seafield Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. Public mapping records no formal access here, so plan for a walk and soft ground. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. If the gate is shut, Willoughby Lake at 3 miles is the nearest alternative. Confirm before you fish Seafield Lake.
