Rustin Hole Lake is a lake in Washington, near Whitman County.
Rustin Hole Lake is a lake in Whitman County, Washington and covers about 1.24 acres.
Rustin Hole Lake is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
Fish listed for Rustin Hole Lake include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, Rainbow Trout, and Yellow Perch.
During a short evening pass near the mouth of a pocket after warm rain, keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf for yellow perch.
During the first hour near scattered wood with light wind, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During the last hour of daylight near the edge of deeper water with stable weather, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a careful second pass near an open-water edge with a slow lure, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a return to the best bank near a shaded bank near visible bait, 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 steady fall day near a creek-side turn 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 a short check of nearby structure near a channel bend with stable weather, 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.
During the first pass near a soft-to-hard bottom change while the water is falling, 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 short evening pass near a soft-to-hard bottom change with stable weather, record the wind, water color, depth of the best pass, 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.
