Ghost Lake is a lake in Washington, near Pierce County.
Ghost Lake in Pierce County is a lake in Washington and covers about 2.47 acres.
Ghost Lake is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
During a return to the best bank near a narrow cove in clear water, fish listed for Ghost Lake include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Coastal Cutthroat Trout, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Rainbow Trout.
During the final pass near scattered wood after a cold night, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a warm summer afternoon near the outside weed line after warm rain, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During the first pass near a clean gravel patch with a moving 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 in stained water, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a low-light period near a shallow shelf in stained water, 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 look at cover and depth near a firm-bottom flat where food is present, 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 a return to the best bank near a narrow cove beside useful cover, 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 the first hour near the first break with light wind, record the wind, water color, depth where the lure was hit, 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.
