We don't rate lakes; these are PFBC listings and PFBC survey records.

Order: PFBC Best Fishing Waters for that species first, then lakes where PFBC recorded the species in a survey from the last 10 years; within each group, nearest first (straight-line miles from the county's center).

Distances are straight lines, not driving miles. PFBC Best Fishing Waters list of Nov 2024; PFBC surveys since 2016.
