Anderson Lake is a lake in Washington, near Pierce County.
Anderson Lake in Pierce County is a lake in Washington and covers about 1.48 acres.
Anderson Lake is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
Fish listed for Anderson Lake include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Coastal Cutthroat Trout, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Rainbow Trout.
During a low-light period near the mouth of a pocket with a slow lure, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a return to the best bank near a small drop with stable weather, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a low-light period near an open-water edge with a slow lure, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During the last hour of daylight near a channel bend while the water is falling, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a steady fall day near a quiet corner before changing depth, 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 quick comparison of two banks near a rocky edge away from empty shoreline, shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move.
During a bright afternoon near a windblown shore with a slow lure, 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 return to the best bank near the downwind side near visible bait, record the wind, water color, depth near the strongest cover, 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.
