Beaverdam Lake is a lake in King County, Washington and covers about 1.73 acres.
On a water as small as Beaverdam Lake, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Beaverdam Lake include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Coastal Cutthroat Trout, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Rainbow Trout.
During a slow shoreline pass near the mouth of a pocket in stained water, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a steady fall day near a firm-bottom flat near visible bait, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During the first pass near the mouth of a pocket where two features meet, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a bright afternoon near an open-water edge under flat light, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
How to Read the Water
During a cool spring morning near a narrow cove under flat light, 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 one pass along the first break near a clean gravel patch after warm rain, 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.
A Simple Tackle Plan
During an overcast morning near the mouth of a pocket with a moving bait, 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 a soft-to-hard bottom change with light wind, 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.
