Deep Lake in Grant County is a lake in Washington and covers about 101.3 acres.
During a methodical search near a small drop in clear water, a point, weed edge, or small drop is more important than simply covering the whole shoreline.
Fish listed for Deep Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Channel Catfish, Common Carp, Largemouth Bass, Largescale Sucker, Northern Pikeminnow, Peamouth Chub, Pumpkinseed, Redside Shiner, Smallmouth Bass, Walleye, and Yellow Perch.
During the first pass near a quiet corner under flat light, work a jig, minnow rig, or small crankbait along points and the old channel edge for walleye.
During a slow shoreline pass near a rocky edge where two features meet, keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf for yellow perch.
During a methodical search near a windblown shore away from empty shoreline, fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops for black crappie.
During a steady fall day near a creek-side turn where food is present, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a warm summer afternoon near a quiet corner with a slow lure, Other targets listed here include Smallmouth Bass, Largemouth Bass, Channel Catfish, Brown Bullhead, and Common Carp; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig.
During the first hour near a shallow shelf while the water is rising, kokanee Salmon, and Rainbow Trout have also been stocked here; that proves fish were released, but it does not promise that they are still common or easy to catch.
During a low-light period near the edge of deeper water near firm bottom, 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 point-to-pocket comparison near an open-water edge close to shade, 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.
During a cool spring morning near a quiet corner away from empty shoreline, a medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle.
During a low-light period near a shallow shelf beside useful cover, record the wind, water color, depth where fish were holding, 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.
