Lake Sutherland is a lake in Washington, near Clallam County.
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 Sutherland is a lake in Clallam County, Washington and covers about 351.3 acres.
Several patterns can work at once on Lake Sutherland, especially when wind separates clear water from dirty water.
Fish listed for Lake Sutherland include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Coastal Cutthroat Trout, Largemouth Bass, Largescale Sucker, Northern Pikeminnow, Peamouth Chub, Pumpkinseed, Kokanee Salmon, and Yellow Perch.
During a methodical search near a narrow cove after a cold night, 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 scattered wood close to shade, fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops for black crappie.
During a careful second pass near an open-water edge near firm bottom, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a cold winter outing near the mouth of a pocket with a slow lure, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a careful second pass near the mouth of a pocket in stained water, Other targets listed here include Brown Bullhead; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig.
During a low-light period near a creek-side turn in clear water, 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 slow shoreline pass near the downwind side before changing depth, 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.
While using a simple check of moving water near a narrow cove before changing areas, 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 the first pass near a channel bend with a moving bait, 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 start of a weather change near a small drop with a slow lure, record the wind, water color, water depth at the strike, 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.
