On lake Sammamish, the best fishing is at the mouth of Issaquah Creek. From August to the end of October you can fish for Chinook (King) Salmon here.
You can't get any closer than 100 yards, but you're allowed to use bait, barbed hooks and can keep any Chinook over 12 inches - although I do mostly catch and release with barbless hooks.
Please note, the only type of Salmon you can keep in this area is Chinook.
I've had good luck here with a pink buzz-bomb. I didn't get any Chinook, but picked up a 20 inch Steelhead.
The fish stack up here on their way into Issaquah Hatchery. The hatchery release Steelhead and Chinook and the population of both are healthy in the Lake.
I've also caught several Steelhead from my dock on the east side of the lake using the smallest buzzbomb you can buy, casting it as far as possible into the lake and jigging it on the bottom back to the shore.
