Fish species in Coundly Lake

Coundly Lake is a lake in Pierce County, Washington and covers about 13.3 acres.

Coundly Lake is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Coundly Lake include Brook Trout, Cutthroat Trout, and Rainbow Trout.

During a low-light period near scattered wood in stained water, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.

How to Read the Water

During a bright afternoon near a shallow shelf beside useful cover, do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself.

Season by Season

While using a slow pass beside cover near a rocky edge with stable weather, 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.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During a slow shoreline pass near the first break with a slow lure, 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 an overcast morning near the downwind side with stable weather, record the wind, water color, depth that held fish, 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.
