Fish species in Black Rock Pond

Black Rock Pond is a lake in Lewis County, Washington and covers about 4.38 acres.

Black Rock Pond is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Black Rock Pond include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Coastal Cutthroat Trout, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Rainbow Trout.

During the last hour of daylight near the mouth of a pocket before changing depth, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.

During a low-light period near a creek-side turn with light wind, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.

During the final pass near the edge of deeper water under flat light, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.

During a warm summer afternoon near a channel bend 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 methodical search near the first break in stained water, Make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break.

Season by Season

While using a short cover-to-depth check near a narrow cove away from empty shoreline, 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 the first pass near the edge of deeper water under flat light, 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 the final pass near the first break near firm bottom, record the wind, water color, depth beside useful 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.
