Lake Leprechaun in the northern part of Mason County is a lake in Washington.
Use the shape you can see at Lake Leprechaun: check the best cover, the first drop, and one open-water line before moving.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Lake Leprechaun include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Coastal Cutthroat Trout, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Rainbow Trout.
During a short evening pass near a clean gravel patch near firm bottom, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a cool spring morning near a small drop before changing depth, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a cool spring morning near a protected point in clear water, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a low-light period near a protected point where two features meet, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
How to Read the Water
During the start of a weather change near scattered wood with a slow lure, 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.
Season by Season
While using a simple two-depth check near a channel bend after warm rain, 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.
A Simple Tackle Plan
During the first hour near a clean gravel patch where two features meet, 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 the first hour near a narrow cove in clear water, 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.
