Sammamish

Lake Sammamish has a high water elevation of 28 feet and 4,897 surface acres and is open to fishing, boating and water skiing.

It is located near the Lake Sammamish State Park and Beach.

The lake features largemouth and smallmouth bass as well as rainbow trout, cut-throat salmon, stelhead, catfish and panfish.

Although it only has one launch ramp, that ramp does have 8 lanes to accomodate boaters. This is a very popular lake due to its proximity to the greater Seattle area and can become very crowded.

Best fishing information can be had from Walt and Gordon Rose of Angler's Choice Tackle, call (296) 364-9827
