Fishing at Post Office Lake, Clark County, Washington

• Overview

  Post Office Lake is listed under Clark County, Washington. This is dry hill ground. With some 75 acres of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one. There is roughly 2.1 miles of shoreline here, which is a short walk end to end. Few waters listed in Clark County are bigger. 3.4 miles away sits Felida, the nearest town. Further out sit Ridgefield (4.7 miles) and Lake Shore (4.9 miles). You are close to a county edge here; who manages the access can change within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Post Office Lake

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Clark County records list bluegill, yellow perch, black crappie and brown bullhead among the fish reported. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. Work Post Office Lake in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is 40°F to 65°F. Winter is a mild inconvenience here, nothing more. The first and last hours carry the summer; the middle is slow. Spring and autumn carry the year; summer squeezes it into the ends of the day. The season on Post Office Lake follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. The mapped parking is Ridgeport Dairy Unit Parking #1, half a mile away. Green Lake (Mettler) Natural Area takes in this water; protected-area rules will apply. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Should this one be busy, Green Lake is 0.6 miles off. Treat Post Office Lake as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
