• Where to Fish on Ludvick Lake

  We hold no depth figure for this one. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Kitsap County records list Chum salmon, Coho salmon and cutthroat trout among the fish reported. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. The near bank of Ludvick Lake is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-term averages put August at about 62°F and January near 39°F. Seasons here are moderate, and the fishing runs most of the year. It is not guaranteed from one year to the next. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to fish here. Plan around that when you fish Ludvick Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. For a change of water, Erickson Lake is 2.3 miles distant. Treat Ludvick Lake as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
