Lake Sawyer is where I used to fish all the time when I lived in Covington. I used to catch numerous bass fishing off the shore near the boat launch this time of year! There is both smallmouth and largemouth. If you have a boat, work the docks to the left of the launch.

Lake 12 in Black Diamond. Lake Meridian and Morton both on the edge of Kent/Covington. All have great bass populations. Actually kind of depends on what you are fishing out of. Some lakes have restrictions on motors. There are a ton of small lakes all throughout Kent/Maple Valley/Enumclaw which you can't have a gas engine on, but are good fishing lakes. Just check all your regs.

Thank you guys, I will be giving both a shot soon.  The fish at washington were coming out of the water like crazy but damned if I could get them to bite.

here is a little list ive thought up

jut google maps for the location

lake holm(black diamond)- dark stained water, small lake  can produce some big largies, if u can get them to bite

lake sawyer(black diamond)- stained water, also holds some huge largemouth, pretty good fishing, can be tough at times, throw a perch color crank for best luck

shadow lake(maple valley)- small, electric only motors, stained water, only fished it once, so no tips

lake meridian(covington)- lightly stained, throw plastics and jigs ad docks for  smalies and largies

good luck!
