Carty Lake is a lake in Washington, near Clark County.
Carty Lake is a lake in Clark County, Washington and covers about 41.07 acres.
Carty Lake can be broken down in a few passes: shallow cover, the first break, and the deepest useful water.
Fish listed for Carty Lake include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Coastal Cutthroat Trout, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Rainbow Trout.
During a cool spring morning near a creek-side turn while the water is rising, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a calm morning near the outside weed line in stained water, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a return to the best bank near the first break in stained water, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During the first hour near a soft-to-hard bottom change near firm bottom, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a cool spring morning near a windblown shore where food is present, 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 simple look at cover and depth near a rocky edge beside useful cover, 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.
During a slow shoreline pass near the edge of deeper water before changing depth, 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 clean gravel patch under flat light, record the wind, water color, depth of the working lure, 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.
