Widgeon Lake is a lake in Washington, near Clark County.
Widgeon Lake in Clark County is a lake in Washington and covers about 38.19 acres.
Widgeon Lake is compact enough to fish slowly, but a change in weeds or bottom can still split it into separate patterns.
Fish listed for Widgeon Lake include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Coastal Cutthroat Trout, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Rainbow Trout.
During the first hour near the downwind side near visible bait, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a steady fall day near the first break after warm rain, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a careful second pass near a quiet corner in stained water, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During the first pass near a rocky edge 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 an open-water edge close to shade, 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.
While using a short cover-to-depth check near a creek-side turn where two features meet, spring fishing starts with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace.
During the first hour near the first break near visible bait, 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 start of a weather change near scattered wood where two features meet, record the wind, water color, water depth at the strike, 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.
