Coal Lake Fishing in Snohomish County, Washington
Silverton Area

If you go to this lake you will now have to leave your car within about 2 miles from the lake. The road has been washed out, and I don't see it being repaired very easily. The walk is not bad at all. The lake area was 98 percent clear of snow. I float tubed the whole lake in once circle. I caught 3 7inch brookies, and lost 3. I had numerous bites. It is a beautiful lake to fish, with serious deep drop offs, especially on the rock slide side of the lake. Crystal clear alpine lake water. I think the fishing could be non stop action, it was fine for me, but it was even pouring rain and wind blowing at the time. I fished a Green Wooly bugger trolled behind my tube. But with alpine lakes you could almost use a bare hook, these fish are hungry.
