Langlois Lake is one of only ten waters in King County managed with a seasonal fishing closure. Spring catch rates for trout are highest early in the season and decline as fish are harvested and as warmer water temperatures force trout to seek areas of colder refuge. 

The lake located just 1.4 miles from Carnation, in King County. Fishermen will find a variety of fish including rainbow trout and largemouth bass here. Whether you’re spinning, fly fishing or bait casting your chances of getting a bite here are good. So grab your favorite fly fishing rod and reel, and head out to Langlois Lake.
