Duck Lake is a lake in Washington, near Whitman County.
Duck Lake in Whitman County is a lake in Washington and covers about 22.98 acres.
The small size of Duck Lake makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
Fish listed for Duck Lake include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, Rainbow Trout, and Yellow Perch.
During a slow shoreline pass near a shaded bank with a slow lure, keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf for yellow perch.
During a warm summer afternoon near a small drop with a moving bait, 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 rising, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a warm summer afternoon near a protected point before changing areas, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a methodical search near the downwind side close to shade, Other targets listed here include Rainbow Trout; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig.
During an overcast morning near an open-water edge after a cold night, start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it.
While using a short pass along useful shoreline near an open-water edge before changing areas, spring fishing starts with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace.
During the first hour near the mouth of a pocket 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 the first pass near a windblown shore after a cold night, record the wind, water color, depth where the bait 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.
