About Lake River

Lake River is a river flowing through Washington, United States. River fishing rewards anglers who learn to read current — fish hold in the seams between fast and slow water, behind rocks and submerged logs, and at the heads and tails of pools. At Lake River, working a lure or fly down-and-across the current usually outperforms casting straight upstream. Higher water concentrates fish; clear, low water makes them spookier.

Fishing Techniques

  • For Common carp

    Pre-bait the area with a similar bait you plan to fish with to attract carp and increase your chances.

  • For Yellow bullhead

    Fish near the bottom, as yellow bullheads are bottom feeders. Use a slip bobber to suspend your bait just off the bottom in deeper water.

  • For Channel catfish

    Fish near structure like submerged trees or rocks, as channel catfish often use these areas for ambush points and shelter.
