Fish species in Jordan Ponds

Jordan Ponds is a lake in Snohomish County, Washington and covers about 2.04 acres.

On a water as small as Jordan Ponds, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.

Fish and Baits

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

During a methodical search near a channel bend in stained water, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.

During a methodical search near the downwind side with stable weather, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.

During a cold winter outing near a windblown shore after a cold night, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.

During a slow shoreline pass near a clean gravel patch away from empty shoreline, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.

How to Read the Water

During a cool spring morning near a shaded bank while the water is rising, do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself.

Season by Season

While using one protected-water check near the downwind side in stained water, 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 a steady fall day near a soft-to-hard bottom change 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 calm morning near a windblown shore 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.
