About Lake Pateros
Lake Pateros sits in Washington, United States and offers the kind of structure-driven reservoir fishing that suits both bank anglers and those working from a small boat or float tube. Fish on a stillwater like this don't move much during the heat of the day — finding shade, cooler thermoclines, or current from inflowing streams is the local trick. Most successful trips to Lake Pateros come down to reading the water before tying on a lure.

Fishing Techniques
- For Sockeye salmon
Sockeye tend to run in deep, fast currents, so use enough weight to get your offering down to where the fish are, near the bottom.
- For Chinook salmon
Vary your retrieve speed and depth until you find what the fish are responding to, as their preferences can change daily.
- For Largemouth bass
Vary your retrieve speed and lure presentation until you find what the bass are keying on, as their preferences can change daily based on weather and water conditions.
