Coon Lake is a lake in Washington, near Mason County.
Coon Lake is a lake in Mason County, Washington and covers about 17.85 acres.
The small size of Coon Lake makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
Fish listed for Coon Lake include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Coastal Cutthroat Trout, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Rainbow Trout.
During a calm morning near a small drop before changing depth, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a bright afternoon near the outside weed line where food is present, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a short evening pass near the mouth of a pocket beside useful cover, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a slow shoreline pass near a clean gravel patch with light wind, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a warm summer afternoon near a shallow shelf close to shade, 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 short pass along useful shoreline near the first break 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.
During a low-light period near a soft-to-hard bottom change with light wind, 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 warm summer afternoon near a quiet corner in clear water, record the wind, water color, depth where the bait worked, 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.
