Hazard Lake is a lake in Washington, near Thurston County.
Hazard Lake is a lake in Thurston County, Washington and covers about 2.97 acres.
Hazard Lake is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
Fish listed for Hazard Lake include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Coastal Cutthroat Trout, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Rainbow Trout.
During a return to the best bank near a creek-side turn after warm rain, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a warm summer afternoon near a clean gravel patch while the water is rising, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a quick scouting pass near the downwind side before changing depth, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a warm summer afternoon near a shaded bank while the water is falling, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a quick scouting pass near a rocky edge 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.
While using a quick look at firm bottom near a firm-bottom flat before changing depth, 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.
During a quick scouting pass near a clean gravel patch near firm bottom, 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 calm morning near the first break after warm rain, record the wind, water color, depth beside useful cover, 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.
