I read in the dreaded FHN that Dec and Feb were good months to try the lake for cutthroats, so I loaded up my boat and my two boys and spent a couple hours this afternoon in pursuit of the red-throated trout. I'll say this for fishing the lake this time of year- no waterskiers or jet craft to disturb you. No fish either. I marked a few but had no hits trolling superdupers and various spoons. The wind came up after a couple hours so we called it a day. May even try again. It was nice to get out on a lake after five months of river fishing. Saw two other boats out fishing, no luck with them either.

Anyone have any advice for fishing Lake Sammamish this time of year?
