Evergreen Lake is a lake in Skamania County, Washington and covers about 4.29 acres.
On a water as small as Evergreen Lake, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Evergreen Lake include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Coastal Cutthroat Trout, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Rainbow Trout.
During a cool spring morning near a firm-bottom flat before changing depth, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a quick scouting pass near an open-water edge while the water is rising, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During an overcast morning near scattered wood before changing depth, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During the final pass near a shaded bank beside useful cover, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
How to Read the Water
During a short evening pass near a channel bend near firm bottom, 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 one protected-water check near a quiet corner near visible bait, 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.
A Simple Tackle Plan
During a slow shoreline pass near a protected point 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 creek-side turn after warm rain, 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.
