Fish species in Gladys Lake

Gladys Lake is a lake in Clallam County, Washington and covers about 1.24 acres.

Gladys Lake is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Gladys Lake include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Coastal Cutthroat Trout, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Rainbow Trout.

During a low-light period near the mouth of a pocket away from empty shoreline, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.

During the first hour near a clean gravel patch where two features meet, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.

During a short evening pass near a firm-bottom flat close to shade, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.

During a low-light period near the outside weed line near visible bait, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.

How to Read the Water

During a warm summer afternoon near a shaded bank with light wind, 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.

Season by Season

While using a simple two-depth check near a windblown shore 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.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During the last hour of daylight near a clean gravel patch in clear water, 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 an overcast morning near a protected point under flat light, record the wind, water color, depth of the first bite, 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.
