Fish species in Damon Lake

Damon Lake is a lake in Grays Harbor County, Washington and covers about 13.84 acres.

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

Fish and Baits

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

During an overcast morning near a shaded bank beside useful cover, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.

During the first pass near a firm-bottom flat while the water is falling, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.

During a warm summer afternoon near an open-water edge before changing areas, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.

During a cool spring morning near a windblown shore 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, 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.

Season by Season

While using a simple look at cover and depth 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.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During a low-light period near a shallow shelf 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 methodical search near a windblown shore close to shade, record the wind, water color, lure depth that 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.
