they are actually considering opening a chinook season on the lake this year as the sammmamish river run is so big. If so, take advantage of it with all the ocean closures going on. I used to fish the shit out of the lake when I lived up there, it is such an underutilized fishery and can produce fantastically. Back in the day my buddies and me used to take the party favors down to the shorline at seward park and nail HUGE rainbows just casting as far out as you could with an egg sinker and powerbait and getting completely blotto. When the sokeye run, BAM, combat fishing but limits can come quick. It'll cost you some $$$, but I could tell you where you'd have a good chance at a sturgeon in the lake also, they like the easy pickens, but then again using live bait for em is illegal so I wouldn't even consider it......(anymore
). Enjoy your outing, once it warms up a bit, that lake could explode, then the only competition is the waterskiing and jetskiis. Go to green lake and catch the 5-10lb trout that live in there!! I went to high school 2 blks from there and spent many first and second periods at the lake.
