Fish species in Cohassett Lake

Cohassett Lake is a lake in Grays Harbor County, Washington and covers about 1.73 acres.

The small size of Cohassett Lake makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Cohassett Lake include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Coastal Cutthroat Trout, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Rainbow Trout.

During a low-light period near a rocky edge under flat light, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.

During a quick scouting pass near a channel bend near firm bottom, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.

During a cold winter outing near a channel bend after warm rain, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.

During a slow shoreline pass near a rocky edge after warm rain, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.

How to Read the Water

During a slow shoreline pass near the downwind side where food is present, 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 brief open-water pass near a creek-side turn away from empty shoreline, 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.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During a short evening pass near a windblown shore with stable weather, 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 methodical search near an open-water edge with a moving bait, record the wind, water color, depth along the best drop, 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.
