Hurley Lake is a lake in Washington, near Lincoln County.
Hurley Lake is a lake in Lincoln County, Washington and covers about 18.29 acres.
On a water as small as Hurley Lake, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.
Fish listed for Hurley Lake include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, Rainbow Trout, and Yellow Perch.
During a warm summer afternoon near scattered wood while the water is falling, keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf for yellow perch.
During a careful second pass near the first break with a slow lure, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a slow shoreline pass near a shaded bank with light wind, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a cold winter outing near a shallow shelf with light wind, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During the start of a weather change near a windblown shore close to shade, Other targets listed here include Rainbow Trout; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig.
During the first pass near a quiet corner 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 careful look at water color near a narrow cove near visible bait, 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.
During the last hour of daylight near the first break while the water is rising, 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 low-light period near the first break beside useful cover, record the wind, water color, depth along the active edge, 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.
