Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.
Kwahnesum Lake is a lake in Whatcom County, Washington and covers about 16.4 acres.
On a water as small as Kwahnesum Lake, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.
During an overcast morning near the outside weed line away from empty shoreline, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
During a bright afternoon near a quiet corner after warm rain, begin with one slow bottom presentation and one moving bait, then let bites show whether fish are holding close to cover or roaming open water.
During a cool spring morning near a rocky edge before changing areas, rainbow Trout have also been stocked here; that proves fish were released, but it does not promise that they are still common or easy to catch.
During a steady fall day near a firm-bottom flat with a moving bait, use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket.
While using a short check of nearby structure near a soft-to-hard bottom change before changing depth, early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again.
During a check of nearby water near an open-water edge close to shade, a medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle.
During a steady fall day near a firm-bottom flat with stable weather, record the wind, water color, depth where the bait worked, 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.
