Fishing in Bellevue, Washington, United States

As one who has fished here for years most are shooed off by the slow bite in the spring. This lake has a TON of bass and crappie but the bite doesn't pick up till summer. and don't expect much until around and after sunset. In the summer I come here and always catch a couple bass and I have seen some carp here too.

I fish the stretch of the Sammamish River from the lake up to 60 Acres. It has always been a pretty consistent waterway for bites. I almost never get skunked unless I'm specifically trying out new gear or techniques. It's fun because you have the added challenge of using specific Gear rules (No "real" bait, barbless, single hook, etc). It really forces me to stay well rounded. Water levels rise and fall, temps change so fishing the same spots are always a different experience. A decent variety of species and some can get pretty big.
