North Lake is a lake in Washington, near Kitsap County.
North Lake in Kitsap County is a lake in Washington and covers about 6.42 acres.
North Lake is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
Fish listed for North Lake include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Coastal Cutthroat Trout, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Rainbow Trout.
During a low-light period near scattered wood with a slow lure, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a low-light period near a creek-side turn while the water is falling, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a slow shoreline pass near a quiet corner near visible bait, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During the final pass near the first break while the water is rising, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a methodical search near a shallow shelf while the water is rising, 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 a point-to-pocket comparison near the downwind side while the water is falling, spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search.
During a check of nearby water near a quiet corner after warm rain, 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 first hour near a firm-bottom flat with light wind, record the wind, water color, depth where the bait worked, 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.
