Fish species in Woodhouse Pond

Official stocking history

Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.

Woodhouse Pond is a lake in Kittitas County, Washington and covers about 1.5 acres.

The small size of Woodhouse Pond makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Woodhouse Pond include Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch.

During the last hour of daylight near the first break before changing areas, keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf for yellow perch.

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

During a steady fall day near a creek-side turn beside useful cover, rainbow Trout have also been stocked here; that proves fish were released, but it does not promise that they are still common or easy to catch.

How to Read the Water

During the final pass near a clean gravel patch while the water is rising, 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 one pass beside the best cover near the edge of deeper water after warm rain, 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.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During an overcast morning near the downwind side with a moving bait, a medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle.

During a methodical search near a creek-side turn after a cold night, record the wind, water color, depth near the strongest cover, 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.
