Spring Lakes is a lake in Washington, near Grant County.
Spring Lakes is a lake in Grant County, Washington and covers about 0.49 acres.
On a water as small as Spring Lakes, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.
Fish listed for Spring Lakes include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, Rainbow Trout, and Yellow Perch.
During the final pass near the downwind side after a cold night, keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf for yellow perch.
During the first hour near a quiet corner after warm rain, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a methodical search near the downwind side close to shade, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During the first hour near a channel bend beside useful cover, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a low-light period near a protected point 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 calm morning near the mouth of a pocket after a cold night, 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 slow pass beside cover near a protected point near firm bottom, 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 the first hour near a soft-to-hard bottom change after a cold night, 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 last hour of daylight near a small drop while the water is falling, record the wind, water color, depth where the lure was hit, 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.
