Fish species in Lake Holm

Official stocking history

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.

Lake Holm is a lake in King County, Washington and covers about 19.9 acres.

The small size of Lake Holm makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Lake Holm include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Coastal Cutthroat Trout, Common Carp, Largemouth Bass, Largescale Sucker, Northern Pikeminnow, Peamouth Chub, Pumpkinseed, Smallmouth Bass, and Yellow Perch.

During a short evening pass near a protected point near visible bait, keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf for yellow perch.

During a check of nearby water near a creek-side turn with stable weather, fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops for black crappie.

During the last hour of daylight near a quiet corner where food is present, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.

During the first hour near a small drop near visible bait, drag a tube or Ned rig across rock and the hard edge of a point for smallmouth bass.

During a calm morning near a soft-to-hard bottom change where food is present, Other targets listed here include Largemouth Bass, Brown Bullhead, and Common Carp; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig.

During a warm summer afternoon near the outside weed line where food is present, Coho Salmon, Cutthroat Trout, and 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.

How to Read the Water

During a calm morning near the first break beside useful cover, 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 a short cover-to-depth check near the first break with light wind, 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 careful second pass near a clean gravel patch before changing depth, 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 warm summer afternoon near a narrow cove under flat light, record the wind, water color, depth along the best drop, 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.
