Fish species in Price Lake

Price Lake in Whatcom County is a lake in Washington and covers about 53.45 acres.

During a steady fall day near a rocky edge with a moving bait, a point, weed edge, or small drop is more important than simply covering the whole shoreline.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Price Lake include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Coastal Cutthroat Trout, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Rainbow Trout.

During an overcast morning near the mouth of a pocket under flat light, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.

During a careful second pass near a clean gravel patch with a slow lure, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.

During a check of nearby water near a shallow shelf with light wind, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.

During a low-light period near a rocky edge while the water is rising, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.

How to Read the Water

During a calm morning near a protected point after a cold night, Make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break.

Season by Season

While using a simple look at cover and depth near the outside weed line after warm rain, spring fishing starts with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During a bright afternoon 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 the first hour near a soft-to-hard bottom change near firm bottom, record the wind, water color, depth of the first bite, 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.
