Reed Lake is a lake in Washington, near Lincoln County.
Reed Lake in Lincoln County is a lake in Washington and covers about 2.22 acres.
On a water as small as Reed Lake, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.
Fish listed for Reed Lake include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, Rainbow Trout, and Yellow Perch.
During a cool spring morning near a clean gravel patch where food is present, keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf for yellow perch.
During a low-light period near the edge of deeper water in stained water, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a low-light period near the outside weed line under flat light, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a return to the best bank near the downwind side while the water is rising, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During the last hour of daylight near a quiet corner beside useful cover, Other targets listed here include Rainbow Trout; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig.
During a low-light period near a quiet corner after a cold night, use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket.
While using a short cover-to-depth check near a shaded bank in clear water, 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 methodical search near a narrow cove before changing depth, 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 warm summer afternoon near a shaded bank before changing areas, record the wind, water color, depth that produced twice, 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.
