43-acre lake near Alderwood Manor. The lake tops out around 20 ft. The depth chart is built from real state fisheries GPS surveys, so the humps, channels and drop-offs you see are measured, not guessed. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
On the chart, Lake Serene draws 43 acres inside 1.1 miles of shoreline. Nearly circular (index 1.2), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 68% of this chart. End to end it runs roughly 0.5 mi, about 0.2 mi across. You'll find it in Snohomish County. For a second option, Stickney Lake lies 1 mi east.
Start shallow in spring: rainbow trout sit in 5 to 20 ft that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 5 to 20 ft covers summer, 4 to 20 ft covers winter. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 15 ft of water that rates prime for rainbow trout in winter. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (7 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 5 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (15 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 6 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (7 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 4 to 20 ft | dawn | Break off the point (15 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
