Fish species in Harry Lake

Harry Lake in Skagit County is a lake in Washington and covers about 0.74 acres.

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

Fish and Baits

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

During a cold winter outing near an open-water edge before changing areas, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.

During an overcast morning near the outside weed line before changing areas, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.

During a calm morning near a shaded bank after a cold night, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.

During a quick scouting pass near a soft-to-hard bottom change 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 a careful second pass near a small drop beside useful cover, 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.

Season by Season

While using one check of the nearest drop near a small drop beside useful cover, shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During an overcast morning near a narrow cove with stable weather, 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 last hour of daylight near a shallow shelf before changing areas, record the wind, water color, depth where fish bit, 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.
