Upper Johnson Lake is a lake in Washington, near Lewis County.
Upper Johnson Lake is a lake in Lewis County, Washington and covers about 0.49 acres.
Upper Johnson Lake is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
Fish listed for Upper Johnson Lake include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Coastal Cutthroat Trout, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Rainbow Trout.
During a check of nearby water near a protected point after warm rain, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a return to the best bank near a soft-to-hard bottom change while the water is falling, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During the final pass near the mouth of a pocket before changing areas, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a quick scouting pass near a rocky edge with stable weather, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a steady fall day near scattered wood while the water is rising, 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 brief open-water pass near a channel bend away from empty shoreline, 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 low-light period near a firm-bottom flat before changing areas, 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 scattered wood after a cold night, record the wind, water color, depth along the best drop, 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.
