White Lake Fishing in King County, Washington

• Overview

  White Lake falls in King County, part of Washington. Everything around it is oak and grass. Small at around 5 acres: two anglers spread out cover most of it. It lies lower than most water we list in Washington. Some 1.1 miles away sits Auburn, the nearest settlement. Kent is the closest city, 5.6 miles away. Round about: Lake Geneva 3.5 miles, Lake Holm just 3.7 miles, North Lake 4 miles, Hille Lake just 4 miles and Lake Killarney 4.1 miles. This one sits near enough to a boundary to be worth checking.

• Where to Fish on White Lake

  We hold no depth figure for this one. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Open biodiversity records for King County list Chum salmon, Coho salmon, Chinook salmon, sockeye salmon and yellow perch. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. Take White Lake a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  August is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 66°F, while December sits near 39°F. Long warm spells define the calendar more than any cold. The first and last hours carry the summer; the middle is slow. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to fish here. Time your trip to White Lake by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. Expect a half a mile walk in from where the car goes. There are picnic tables half a mile away. Mapping records toilets within half a mile. Part of this sits inside or beside Fenster Nature Park, so read the notices. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Should this one be busy, Lake Geneva is 3.5 miles off. Nothing on White Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
