Findley Lake is a lake in Washington, near Whitman County.
Findley Lake in Whitman County is a lake in Washington and covers about 0.49 acres.
During the start of a weather change near the first break under flat light, the small size of Findley Lake makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
Fish listed for Findley Lake include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, Rainbow Trout, and Yellow Perch.
During a bright afternoon near scattered wood near visible bait, keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf for yellow perch.
During a methodical search near a narrow cove where two features meet, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During the first hour near a protected point beside useful cover, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a cool spring morning near an open-water edge before changing areas, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a slow shoreline pass near the downwind side under flat light, 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 a calm morning near a soft-to-hard bottom change while the water is falling, 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 simple two-depth check near a protected point before changing areas, 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 protected point 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 warm summer afternoon near a windblown shore near visible bait, record the wind, water color, depth that produced twice, 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.
