Harrison Lake is a lake in Jefferson County, Washington and covers about 0.99 acres.
The small size of Harrison Lake makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Harrison Lake include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Coastal Cutthroat Trout, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Rainbow Trout.
During a careful second pass near a narrow cove after warm rain, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During the start of a weather change near a soft-to-hard bottom change before changing depth, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a cool spring morning near the first break in clear water, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During the final pass near a firm-bottom flat in stained water, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
How to Read the Water
During the final pass near the outside weed line after a cold night, Make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break.
Season by Season
While using a quick look at firm bottom near the mouth of a pocket before changing areas, 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.
A Simple Tackle Plan
During the last hour of daylight near an open-water edge with light wind, 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 methodical search near a shallow shelf in clear water, record the wind, water color, depth of the working lure, 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.
