Frenchmans Pond is a lake in Washington, near King County.
Frenchmans Pond is a lake in King County, Washington and covers about 1.24 acres.
Frenchmans Pond is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
Fish listed for Frenchmans Pond include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Coastal Cutthroat Trout, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Rainbow Trout.
During the first pass near a small drop after a cold night, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During the first pass near the downwind side with a slow lure, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a cool spring morning near the downwind side with a slow lure, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a careful second pass near a narrow cove close to shade, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a careful second pass near a shaded bank while the water is rising, 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 simple two-depth check near a clean gravel patch while the water is rising, spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search.
During a methodical search near a windblown shore 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 bright afternoon near the outside weed line near firm bottom, record the wind, water color, depth of the first good pass, 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.
