Evergreen Lake Fishing Guide, Skamania County, Washington

• Overview

  Evergreen Lake is set in Skamania County, Washington. Land around it is rolling hill. This is a pocket water of some 4 acres, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. By elevation it sits in the lower part of our Washington listings. For supplies, Cascade Locks is 1.8 miles out. Gresham sits 27 miles out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. A county line runs close by, so local bylaws can differ within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Evergreen Lake

  Our records hold no depth for this water. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Open biodiversity records for Skamania County list Chinook salmon, Coho salmon and rainbow trout. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. The shape of Evergreen Lake decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  August runs about 64°F on average, January about 35°F. The year turns gently, without extremes at either end. Some winters give nothing at all, so plan for open water. November and March are the quiet, comfortable months to be out. That shapes the year on Evergreen Lake. After heavy rain, give the water a day to settle.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. A pier half a mile from here gives a platform over deeper water. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Smith Lake at 0.2 miles is the sensible second choice. What applies at Evergreen Lake may have changed since it was mapped.
