Little Soap Lake in Grant County is a lake in Washington and covers about 79.82 acres.
Little Soap Lake can be broken down in a few passes: shallow cover, the first break, and the deepest useful water.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Little Soap Lake include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, Rainbow Trout, and Yellow Perch.
During a careful second pass near the first break near visible bait, keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf for yellow perch.
During a quick scouting pass near scattered wood under flat light, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a cool spring morning near a clean gravel patch with a moving bait, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During an overcast morning near a small drop under flat light, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a cold winter outing near a windblown shore close to shade, Other targets listed here include Rainbow Trout; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig.
How to Read the Water
During a return to the best bank near a creek-side turn after a cold night, 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 pass along useful shoreline near a clean gravel patch while the water is rising, shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move.
A Simple Tackle Plan
During a calm morning near a narrow cove close to shade, 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 low-light period near the outside weed line with a moving bait, record the wind, water color, depth of the best pass, 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.
