Fish species in Wederspahn Lake

Wederspahn Lake is a lake in Lincoln County, Washington and covers about 12.36 acres.

On a water as small as Wederspahn Lake, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Wederspahn Lake include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, Rainbow Trout, and Yellow Perch.

During a warm summer afternoon near scattered wood after a cold night, keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf for yellow perch.

During a low-light period near the edge of deeper water with stable weather, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.

During a cool spring morning near a quiet corner beside useful cover, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.

During a check of nearby water near the mouth of a pocket after a cold night, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.

During an overcast morning near a clean gravel patch away from empty shoreline, 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.

How to Read the Water

During a bright afternoon near a windblown shore before changing areas, 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.

Season by Season

While using a point-to-pocket comparison near scattered wood before changing depth, 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.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During a cool spring morning near the outside weed line under flat light, 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 bright afternoon near a creek-side turn with light wind, 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.
