Cady Lake is a lake in Washington, near Mason County.
Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.
Cady Lake is a lake in Mason County, Washington and covers about 14.9 acres.
The small size of Cady Lake makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
Fish listed for Cady Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Brown Trout, Coastal Cutthroat Trout, Common Carp, Largemouth Bass, Largescale Sucker, Northern Pikeminnow, Peamouth Chub, Pumpkinseed, Smallmouth Bass, and Yellow Perch.
During a steady fall day near a rocky edge where food is present, keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf for yellow perch.
During the first pass near the downwind side in clear water, fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops for black crappie.
During a calm morning near the outside weed line near firm bottom, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a methodical search near a small drop in clear water, drag a tube or Ned rig across rock and the hard edge of a point for smallmouth bass.
Other targets listed here include Largemouth Bass, Brown Bullhead, Brown Trout, and Common Carp; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig.
During a low-light period near a windblown shore in clear water, Cutthroat Trout, Kokanee Salmon, and Rainbow Trout have also been stocked here; that proves fish were released, but it does not promise that they are still common or easy to catch.
During a cool spring morning near the downwind side after a cold night, 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.
While using one check of the nearest drop near a soft-to-hard bottom change under flat light, 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.
During the last hour of daylight near a shallow shelf 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 start of a weather change near a channel bend where food is present, record the wind, water color, water depth at the strike, 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.
