Canvasback Lake is a lake in Washington, near Clark County.
Canvasback Lake is a lake in Clark County, Washington and covers about 126.1 acres.
Canvasback Lake is compact enough to fish slowly, but a change in weeds or bottom can still split it into separate patterns.
Fish listed for Canvasback Lake include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Coastal Cutthroat Trout, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Rainbow Trout.
During a steady fall day near the edge of deeper water before changing areas, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a low-light period near scattered wood in clear water, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a quick scouting pass near the mouth of a pocket while the water is rising, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During the last hour of daylight near the mouth of a pocket under flat light, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a careful second pass near the mouth of a pocket with stable weather, 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.
While using a careful look at water color near a firm-bottom flat before changing depth, early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again.
During an overcast morning near a windblown shore after a cold night, 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 check of nearby water near the first break with light wind, 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.
