Suggestions for small, no-gas-motor lakes in western WA?

In case those watching this forum aren't watching the "Introduce Yourself" forum to see my post there, I just bought my first fishing kayak and am looking to get started in local, no-gas-motor lakes, fishing for whatever is allowed that I can get to bite. I have a fair amount of bass fishing experience and gear from Alabama before my move years ago, but little else to go on and few friends who fish, much less fish from a kayak. I'm in the Snohomish/Monroe area and I have a family friends with a place on Lake Bosworth, but I'm open to a bit of travel. Any suggestions on the best way to get started?

I am afraid that I don't know the lakes in your area.  But in the spirit of getting a guy headed the right direction...

I love fishing for kokanee (land locked sockeye salmon) they are not huge or anything usually around 12 inches, but they fillet and eat like a salmon.  Gear is pretty simple except that they are very depth specific, so I use a downrigger.  They hang out at depths of 20-40 feet.  Usually you pull a flasher and either a wedding ring style spinner or a hoochie (mini squid) and the bait is Shoepeg corn (you get it at most grocery stores).  You troll at .8 to 1.5 mph.

 Trout can be targeted on the same gear you just do not need to fish it so deep.

So go get an Arrowflash moon jelly flasher.  8 inches of leader and a pink mini squid on it.  Put some corn on it and drop it back 100 feet behind you kayak and paddle around a lake at 1.2mph and  I guarantee that you will hit a trout.  If you have  a fish finder and downrigger target kokanee they are the best on the table.

Welcome to a target rich environment.  Good luck.

Lake Devereaux (mason Co) is a great little lake with the specifications you are asking but too far of a drive to be worth it for trout you can get in your back yard.

Blackmans Lake in Snohomish is close to you.  I've also enjoyed fishing Cain Lake up north.

Thanks for the detailed info, especially that link to the lowland lakes. That's exactly what I was trying to find and hadn't succeeded in doing.

Thanks! Any suggestions for either of those on what species/tackle/gear over the next couple of months? I'm searching through the info on the lowland lakes link that Widgeonmangh posted above. It would be great to have first-hand experience with local small lakes to go along with the "what's allowed" info there.
