We will head out to Deep Lake, which is located in Millersylvania State Park in Thurston County. June is a good time for Bluegill, Bass, and Rainbow trout.
There is some room on a pier, but a water craft is recommended. Be aware that the launch area is very shallow. Float tubes, inflatable craft, and kayaks are the easiest to use. Large boats will have difficulty.
You cannot launch boats from a trailer here, but there is good access for car toppers, float tubes, and pontoons. There is a fishing dock and good access for bank fishing throughout the park. It could be crowded on the weekend. I fished it in on a weekday in early June.
Rainbow were not being cooperative, but I had fun catching lots of bluegill, sunfish and small bass.
Flies: chironomids, wooly buggers, leeches, damsel flies, soft hackles
Lines: floating, intermediate, or full sink depending on style of fishing.
