Falcon Lake is a lake in Washington, near Grant County.
Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.
Falcon Lake is a lake in Grant County, Washington and covers about 1 acres.
The small size of Falcon Lake makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
Fish listed for Falcon Lake include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch.
During a slow shoreline pass near the outside weed line with stable weather, keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf for yellow perch.
During a check of nearby water near a quiet corner in stained water, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During the first hour near a narrow cove while the water is rising, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During the first pass near a shaded bank near visible bait, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a steady fall day near the edge of deeper water where two features meet, Brook Trout, and Rainbow Trout have also been stocked here; that proves fish were released, but it does not promise that they are still common or easy to catch.
During the final pass near a firm-bottom flat while the water is falling, 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.
While using one careful route near a small drop away from empty shoreline, 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 an overcast morning near the first break near visible bait, a medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle.
During the first hour near a creek-side turn after warm rain, record the wind, water color, water depth at the strike, 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.
