Owhigh Lakes is a lake in Washington, near Pierce County.
Owhigh Lakes is a lake in Pierce County, Washington and covers about 3.95 acres.
The small size of Owhigh Lakes makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
Fish listed for Owhigh Lakes include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Coastal Cutthroat Trout, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Rainbow Trout.
During a slow shoreline pass near a small drop beside useful cover, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a bright afternoon near scattered wood 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 creek-side turn 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 quiet corner with stable weather, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a warm summer afternoon near the edge of deeper water 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 a simple two-depth check near the first break beside useful cover, early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again.
During a steady fall day near a channel bend 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 slow shoreline pass near a shallow shelf after a cold night, record the wind, water color, depth beside useful cover, 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.
