I fished Sammamish years ago for smallmouth and perch. Had a friend with a boat and we'd go up the east side of the lake stopping at the boat docks and some of the submerged weed beds. We caught nice smallmouth and big perch using nightcrawlers and a couple of split shot.

So, moseying up the east side, checking out the docks and the weed beds in about 15 feet of water should be a starting point.

I haven't been to Sammamish yet this year but expect to.
