Saint John Lake is a lake in Lewis County, Washington and covers about 1.7 acres.
Saint John Lake is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
Fish listed for Saint John Lake include Brook Trout, Cutthroat Trout, and Rainbow Trout.
During a check of nearby water near a shaded bank with a moving bait, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a cold winter outing near a creek-side turn near visible bait, Golden Trout have also been stocked here; that proves fish were released, but it does not promise that they are still common or easy to catch.
During an overcast morning near a narrow cove with light wind, 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.
While using one pass along the first break near a creek-side turn before changing depth, 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 quick scouting pass near the mouth of a pocket with light wind, 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 pass near a narrow cove in clear water, record the wind, water color, lure depth that 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.
