Lower Hitt Lake

In Columbia County, Lower Hitt Lake is listed as a reservoir; my opening stop would be one nearby part of the lake, and I would stay with it until I get a useful answer from the first few casts. The first trip does not have to solve everything, so I would keep fishing one short starting zone until I get a useful answer from the first setup before I add more distance or tackle.

Lower Hitt Lake Size, Maximum Depth and Volume

Exact size and depth measurements are sparse for Lower Hitt Lake, so I would leave the figures unstated until a reliable lake-specific record provides the figure and use one sheltered starting zone until I get a useful answer from the opening stretch.

Fishing This Water

Species information for Lower Hitt Lake is limited, so I would use a simple freshwater kit with worms, small jigs, and one moving bait around one straightforward area near the launch and wait to specialize until I get a useful clue from the first area. I would choose one bait style that fits the target on Lower Hitt Lake, work it around one promising area near the launch, and keep it there until I get a useful clue from the first adjustment.

A Practical Lower Hitt Lake Game Plan

For a first trip to Lower Hitt Lake, I would fish one easy-to-read area near the launch long enough to judge the plan, then change one part of the plan before the rest after I see enough in the first few casts. After I see enough in the nearby water, I would give one manageable piece of water more time on Lower Hitt Lake instead of immediately looking elsewhere. Once I see enough in the first hour, I would remember what worked around one nearby piece of water and begin the next trip to Lower Hitt Lake with that same clue.
