Lake Hannan Outing – April 27, 2024

This close in favorite is open to us and our friends Saturday only, at Lake Hannan from 8:00 to 4:00. This is the lake at Camp Hamilton which is northeast of Duvall off SR 203.

Take the Woodinville/Duvall road to the end, turn north on the SR 203 out of town, and go past the first Cherry Valley road, a couple miles, to the second Cherry Valley road that slants up hill on the right. Follow the road east toward Lake Fontal, a few miles, and watch for the sign to camp Hamilton. Go through a yellow gate, and follow to the launch area at Hannan.   This is a private lake owned by the Catholic church, who have given us permission for a day of fishing.  Please respect their strict NO ALCOHOL policy.  The Club provides cooked chili and will provide nonalcoholic beverages.  Please bring appetizers and side dishes to share!

The fishing is pretty easy, with intermediate lines working small leech patterns being the go to.  There is an on again off again mayfly hatch among some chironomids if the weather warms, and damsels in the shoreline weeds account for most of the brookies.  The lake has a healthy population of native cutthroat, and some hybrid cutt-bows as a result of stocking over the years.  This is a healthy, undeveloped, west side lowland lake.  A rare treat for fly anglers.

Members, if you can take another member in your boat to fish on Lake Hannon, please acknowledge this in the “I will Assist With” sign-up, so that we can organize members to fish with you.
