Stetson Lake is a lake in Washington, near Mason County.
Stetson Lake is a lake in Mason County, Washington and covers about 9.88 acres.
Stetson Lake is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
Fish listed for Stetson Lake include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Coastal Cutthroat Trout, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Rainbow Trout.
During a low-light period near the edge of deeper water in clear water, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a low-light period near the first break away from empty shoreline, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a warm summer afternoon near the edge of deeper water before changing depth, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During an overcast morning near a soft-to-hard bottom change while the water is falling, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a check of nearby water near the edge of deeper water 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 quick comparison of two banks near a creek-side turn while the water is rising, early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again.
During a warm summer afternoon near a protected point 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 a return to the best bank near a clean gravel patch beside useful cover, record the wind, water color, depth along the active edge, 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.
