Evergreen Reservoir in Grant County: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Evergreen Reservoir is set in Grant County, Washington. Elevation runs to 1,188 feet. This is sizeable water at about 247 acres, and a boat opens up most of it. Some 3.4 miles of bank gives room to move when the wind turns. It is among the larger waters listed here for Grant County. Supplies mean a trip to Quincy, 8.1 miles off. Then Royal City, 21 miles, and Ephrata, 22 miles. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Evergreen Reservoir

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Records held for Grant County cover yellow perch, largemouth bass and bluegill. Read it as a county summary, not a water-by-water list. Evergreen Reservoir repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 72°F on average, January about 29°F. Most months fish reasonably, given the right weather. It is not guaranteed even in a cold spell, so check yourself. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to fish here. Expect Evergreen Reservoir to follow that timing. Early and late in the day beat the middle for most of the year.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. Evergreen Reservoir North provides a boat ramp about half a mile away. Parking sits half a mile out, which makes for a walk with tackle. Fishing from a pier is possible half a mile away. There is camping recorded roughly half a mile off. There are toilets mapped about half a mile away. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Failing this one, try Burke Lake, 0.5 miles away. Check the position at Evergreen Reservoir before loading the car.
