Tsugawa Brothers Reservoir in Clark County: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Tsugawa Brothers Reservoir sits in Clark County, out in Washington. The ground around here is pine and hardwood. Surface area runs to about 13 acres — small enough to read in one session. Start from La Center, 4.4 miles down the road. The nearest city of size is Vancouver, 17 miles away. A county boundary sits nearby, which can matter for local access rules.

• Where to Fish on Tsugawa Brothers Reservoir

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Clark County records list bluegill, yellow perch, black crappie, brown bullhead and largemouth bass among the fish reported. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. Tsugawa Brothers Reservoir gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give August about 64°F and January about 38°F. The season runs year-round, with the peak either side of summer. October and November give a second good stretch as it cools. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. Expect Tsugawa Brothers Reservoir to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. No made access appears within a short radius, so plan to park on a verge and walk. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Harden Reservoir at 1.1 miles is the sensible second choice. Ask locally about Tsugawa Brothers Reservoir if anything is unclear.
