Lake Ballinger Early Summer Trout Fishing

Thomas and I drug our lures around Lake Ballinger again and this in-town lake did amazingly well. We caught and released a bunch of nice Rainbow Trout, but the part to make sure you see is where I bury a triple hook in my hand and have to pull it out. It was first for me and felt oh-so good!

hm.. i've driven by that lake before but wasn't sure if there was any public access.. but using google maps i found that they have one small public dock.. you wouldn't by chance know if the fishing is decent off of that dock would you?

@FishingThePNW I haven't spent any time fishing it from the dock and just a little from the shore. In my experience it is better from a boat, but I have seen the people on the shore limit out after they stock the lake in the Spring.

Is this lake in Washington

[fwccliff]

@B1ggyB3ar17 Yes, right at the King/Snohomish County border

[fwccliff]

Nope we haven't fished that one yet.  Should we?

i just moved and now i live literally about 1/4 mile away from the public access, hopefully the information i found on a website is true and they really do have yellow perch, black crappie, brown bullhead catfish, largemouth bass, and stocked rainbows :D
