Lewis Reservoir is a reservoir in Kitsap County, Washington.
Lewis Reservoir is a reservoir in Kitsap County, Washington and covers about 300 acres and holds roughly 300 acre-feet.
The best plan at Lewis Reservoir is to choose one arm or shoreline and work it from shallow cover to the first deep break.
During an overcast morning near an open-water edge beside useful cover, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
During a cold winter outing near an open-water edge close to shade, 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 calm morning near a narrow cove while the water is rising, 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 simple two-depth check near a channel bend near firm bottom, spring fishing starts with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace.
During a short evening pass near an open-water edge away from empty shoreline, 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 the first pass near the edge of deeper water before changing areas, 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.
