Tomyhoi lake off the snowshed rd on the mt baker hwy. Good number of brook trout and beautiful senery plus a slim chance of catching a peek of a grizz. Its been a few years since I have been up there. Kinda steep.
There's two ways into Tomyhoi. The easy one down the slide area and the hike up and over the ridge next to Tomyhoi. I hiked the up and over one year and the trail down to the lake was kinda narrow.
I hunted goats up there the next year.

If you're interesting in a fishing adventure, I suggest the area N. of White Pass, the Cramer Lake trail into Cramer Lake, Dumbbell Lake-set up a base camp. Within pretty easy range there are a couple dozen fishable lakes-you have to pretty tolerant of mosquitoes right now if you go, but it's an early and dry season and by the end of the month, they'll be down pretty good. But in another week or so, fishing will be pretty good across the Tumac.

Another good choice is the enchanted lakes above Leavenworth. there good little lakes to fish in and the coolest scenery I've ever seen in Washington. :tup:
You mean the Enchantments? That is a permit only type deal to limit crowds. Apply in the off season and get drawn in order to be able to access it.

Our public lands have a draw system and use taxes :yike:
Yes, if you want to stay overnight from mid-June to mid-October.
Have you seen Mt. Si on a sunny saturday morning? If that happened to the Enchantments, well, it'd be ruined. I suspect it's probably a topic surrounded by drama although if it is, I don't know about it.

Upper Granite lake only lake in Washington with Artic Grayling.
Great area.
Skip Slide Lake. But continue on to EnJar and Hammer lakes. The trail beyond Slide sucks but once you get there... You're alone.
I'll second the hike into TomyHoi. Go north to lose the people. Take your rifle.

Is there a general rule of thumb that applies to lakes in the National Parks? Are they generally open for fishing if state law allows? Seems to be lots of nice lakes in Rainier National Park, just a short drive and hike.some of the parks make their own rules and can be found on their websites. Olympic has a lot of its own regs, but doesn't require a fishing license (just a catch card if you fish the coast for salmon and steelhead).
For the peninsula, I'd say look at Royal Lake. It does get a few hikers, but there seems to be lots of trout. Not humungous, but some are decent sized and they like flies and spinners.

Castle lake right by Mt. St. Helens in the blast zone. Go in late August through September and hear elk screaming all night. Pack in a float tube too.:tup:
