Bingaman Pond is a lake in King County, Washington and covers about 1.73 acres.
Bingaman Pond is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Bingaman Pond include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Coastal Cutthroat Trout, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Rainbow Trout.
During the first hour near a shaded bank with light wind, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a cold winter outing near the first break while the water is rising, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a quick scouting pass near the downwind side before changing areas, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a steady fall day near the downwind side before changing depth, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
How to Read the Water
During the first pass near an open-water edge near visible bait, use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket.
Season by Season
While using a shallow-to-deep search near the mouth of a pocket after warm rain, 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.
A Simple Tackle Plan
During a calm morning near a firm-bottom flat 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 low-light period near a shallow shelf where two features meet, record the wind, water color, depth of the first good pass, 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.
