Log Pond is a lake in Washington, near Cowlitz County.
Log Pond is a lake in Cowlitz County, Washington and covers about 140.82 acres.
Log Pond can be broken down in a few passes: shallow cover, the first break, and the deepest useful water.
Fish listed for Log Pond include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Coastal Cutthroat Trout, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Rainbow Trout.
During a low-light period near a creek-side turn under flat light, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a methodical search near a shaded bank after a cold night, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a warm summer afternoon near a quiet corner before changing depth, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a calm morning near a creek-side turn where food is present, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a return to the best bank near a rocky edge in clear water, start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it.
While using one pass along the first break near a protected point after warm rain, 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.
During the start of a weather change near the outside weed line under flat light, 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 short evening pass near a creek-side turn where food is present, record the wind, water color, depth that held fish, 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.
