Stickney Lake, Washington: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Stickney Lake stands in Snohomish County, Washington. This is dry hill ground. About 24 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. Nearest town is Lake Stickney, 0.3 miles off. The big place round here is Everett, 7.5 miles distant. Also on the doorstep: Lake Serene at 1.4 miles, Martha Lake near enough 1.6 miles, Silver Lake at 2.5 miles, Ruggs Lake near enough 2.9 miles and Thomas Lake at 3.4 miles. A county boundary sits nearby, which can matter for local access rules.

• Where to Fish on Stickney Lake

  No chart reached our records; the first cast is your sounding. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Open biodiversity records for Snohomish County list Chinook salmon, pink salmon, Coho salmon, largemouth bass and pumpkinseed. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. On Stickney Lake the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect August near 64°F and December near 40°F on the long-run figures. Winter is a mild inconvenience here, nothing more. Late winter and spring fish steadiest here. Late winter often fishes better here than midsummer does. Time your trip to Stickney Lake by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. A boat ramp sits about 130 yards from the water. Parking is close: a car park sits 160 yards from the bank. Mapping records toilets within half a mile. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Lake Serene sits 1.4 miles off and takes the overflow. Where Stickney Lake is concerned, a local answer beats a written one.
