Harrison Lake Fishing in Jefferson County, Washington

• Overview

  Harrison Lake is one of the Jefferson County waters in Washington. The shore lies 11 miles out. A pocket of water where every cast reaches cover. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Jefferson County. Head to Seabeck, 15 miles away, for anything you forgot. Bangor Trident Base lies 18 miles off, Silverdale another 20 miles. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Harrison Lake

  Our records hold no depth for this water. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Jefferson County records list Coho salmon, rainbow trout, cutthroat trout, Chum salmon and pink salmon among the fish reported. Several of these carry legal protection or closed seasons; the rulebook comes before the rod. The shape of Harrison Lake rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 53°F in August and bottom out at 29°F in December. The season stretches long at both ends here. In a normal year the cover is thin and short-lived. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. The season on Harrison Lake rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. No slipway, car park or made path shows up nearby in mapping, so treat access as rough. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. If the gate is shut, Lake Constance at 2.4 miles is the nearest alternative. Ask locally about Harrison Lake if anything is unclear.
