Shriner Lake is a lake in Pierce County, Washington and covers about 3.95 acres.
Shriner Lake is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Shriner Lake include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Coastal Cutthroat Trout, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Rainbow Trout.
During a cold winter outing near a protected point while the water is rising, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a calm morning near a channel bend near firm bottom, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During the final pass near a firm-bottom flat beside useful cover, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During the first hour near a narrow cove with a slow lure, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
How to Read the Water
During a quick scouting pass near a quiet corner in stained water, 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.
Season by Season
While using one protected-water check near scattered wood where two features meet, shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move.
A Simple Tackle Plan
During the first hour near scattered wood where food is present, 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 methodical search near a windblown shore near firm bottom, record the wind, water color, depth of the working lure, 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.
