Fish species in Beaver Dam Lake

Beaver Dam Lake is a lake in Kitsap County, Washington and covers about 4.45 acres.

The small size of Beaver Dam Lake makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Beaver Dam Lake include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Coastal Cutthroat Trout, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Rainbow Trout.

During a methodical search near a shallow shelf before changing areas, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.

During a steady fall day near a channel bend before changing depth, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.

During a cool spring morning near a windblown shore while the water is falling, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.

During a warm summer afternoon near a creek-side turn near visible bait, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.

How to Read the Water

During a steady fall day near scattered wood near visible bait, start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it.

Season by Season

While using a point-to-pocket comparison near the outside weed line with a moving bait, spring fishing starts with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During a quick scouting pass near scattered wood in stained water, 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 short evening pass near the first break under flat light, record the wind, water color, depth where fish bit, 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.
