Fish species in Eastman Pond

Eastman Pond is a lake in Lincoln County, Washington and covers about 8.15 acres.

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

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Eastman Pond include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, Rainbow Trout, and Yellow Perch.

During a methodical search near a small drop before changing areas, keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf for yellow perch.

During a quick scouting pass near a channel bend after warm rain, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.

During a check of nearby water near an open-water edge close to shade, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.

During a quick scouting pass near a protected point after warm rain, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.

During an overcast morning near the downwind side in stained water, 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.

How to Read the Water

During the first pass near the first break with light wind, 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 brief open-water pass near a small drop with light wind, 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 firm-bottom flat after a cold night, 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 slow shoreline pass near the first break with a slow lure, record the wind, water color, depth that held fish, 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.
