Aeration Lagoon is a reservoir in Washington, near Pierce County.
Aeration Lagoon is a reservoir in Pierce County, Washington and covers about 4.94 acres.
Aeration Lagoon is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
Fish listed for Aeration Lagoon include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Coastal Cutthroat Trout, Common Carp, Largemouth Bass, Largescale Sucker, Northern Pikeminnow, Peamouth Chub, Pumpkinseed, Smallmouth Bass, Rainbow Trout, and Yellow Perch.
During a cool spring morning near a rocky edge before changing areas, keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf for yellow perch.
During a methodical search near a quiet corner with light wind, fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops for black crappie.
During a warm summer afternoon near a narrow cove where food is present, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a slow shoreline pass near a quiet corner while the water is falling, drag a tube or Ned rig across rock and the hard edge of a point for smallmouth bass.
Other targets listed here include Largemouth Bass, Brown Bullhead, Rainbow Trout, and Common Carp; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig.
During a slow shoreline pass near a channel bend where food is present, do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself.
While using a simple two-depth check near a firm-bottom flat away from empty shoreline, spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search.
During the first pass near a protected point after warm rain, a light spinning rod, thin line, a few small spoons, inline spinners, and jigs cover the listed trout; carry one slightly heavier setup when other fish or windy water call for more control.
During a low-light period near the outside weed line with a moving bait, record the wind, water color, lure depth that worked, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce.
