Dragon Lake is a lake in Washington, near Jefferson County.
Dragon Lake is a lake in Jefferson County, Washington and covers about 5.93 acres.
On a water as small as Dragon Lake, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.
Fish listed for Dragon Lake include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Coastal Cutthroat Trout, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Rainbow Trout.
During the first pass near the downwind side away from empty shoreline, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a return to the best bank near a rocky edge near visible bait, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During the start of a weather change near a quiet corner in stained water, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During the first pass near the mouth of a pocket before changing depth, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a warm summer afternoon near the first break in clear water, 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.
While using a short pass along useful shoreline near a rocky edge under flat light, 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 the start of a weather change near a narrow cove before changing areas, 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 return to the best bank near a small drop after warm rain, record the wind, water color, depth near the strongest 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.
