Deep Lake in Kitsap County is a lake in Washington and covers about 2.47 acres.
On a water as small as Deep Lake, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Deep Lake include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Coastal Cutthroat Trout, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Rainbow Trout.
During the final pass near a quiet corner where food is present, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a low-light period near a small drop with light wind, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a calm morning near a windblown shore under flat light, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a check of nearby water near a clean gravel patch away from empty shoreline, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
How to Read the Water
During the start of a weather change near a small drop before changing areas, 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 quick comparison of two banks near the outside weed line with a slow lure, spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search.
A Simple Tackle Plan
During the first pass near a shaded bank near firm bottom, 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 rocky edge away from empty shoreline, record the wind, water color, depth beside useful cover, 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.
