Martin Lake is a lake in Washington, near Skamania County.
Martin Lake in Skamania County is a lake in Washington and covers about 0.94 acres.
During a quick scouting pass near a protected point after a cold night, Martin Lake is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
Fish listed for Martin Lake include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Coastal Cutthroat Trout, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Rainbow Trout.
During a low-light period near a small drop with a moving bait, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a slow shoreline pass near a protected point close to shade, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a check of nearby water near a channel bend close to shade, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a cool spring morning near the outside weed line with a slow lure, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During the start of a weather change near a clean gravel patch with light wind, 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 protected-water check near a windblown shore in clear water, 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 a cool spring morning near a windblown shore in stained water, 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 steady fall day near a rocky edge in stained 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.
