part of the state. Many opportunities to catch big bass for patient
anglers. Big smallmouths too! Contact Sunrise Resort (253)

Large, shallow lake with more than it's share of largemouth bass!

Wildlife Area (360) 384-4723
Potholes Reservoir- Located southwest of Moses Lake, this is another one of your best bets for bass fishing in Washington.
The Potholes are literally a maze of islands and channels with an unlimited number of bass angling opportunities. Too many to list
here. There are plenty of bass to go around (both largemouth and smallmouth). For some exciting angling opporunities try the area to the north end of the reservoir commonly called "the dunes." This area is literally a maze of smal islands and shallow channels and is probably one of your best bets for largemouth. Pay attention to the way you got in though because it really is a maze and you will need to remember your way to get back out! Contact Potholes State Park (509) 765-7271
or Mar Don Resort (509) 346-2651
Columbia River- The Columbia River is a great bet for smallmouth anglers. The river is full of great spots to land lunker smallmouths! Some of the more noteable locations to land bass in the Columbia include the shoreline areas around Vantage, the stretch north and south of Wentachee (especially upstream from Lincoln Rock State Park) and the banks of the Columbia between Kennewick and Umatilla, OR. These are only a few of the hot spots on the river and there are probably hundreds more. There are various launch sites around these areas and no "one" good # to call for information so I will leave that up to you.
Lake Whatcom- Located southeast of Bellingham, this lake is noted primarily for it's smallmouth bass population. The lake has a considerable population of smallies in the 2lb range, but several in the 5 pound range have also been taken.Contact Priced Less Sporting Goods (360)895-0895
Rotary Lake- Located in Yakima, this lake is not very big and probably not much of a destination, however the locals love it! If you are a serious and patient angler there are plenty of 5lb largemouth that can be had here! Contact Chinook Sporting Goods (509)452-8205
I-82 ponds- If you are traveling through the Yakima area, it might not be a bad idea to bring along your bass rod for a little fishing action in any of these 7 ponds. All contain largemouth bass and all are fairly decent producers. I know a guy who caught a 9lb largemouth out of pond 6(also known as Buena Pond) Contact Chinook Sporting Goods (509)452-8205
Moses Lake- Located in Moses Lake (obviously). Although the bass fishing isnt what it used to be here, if you work hard enough at it, you may be rewarded with a big fat largemouth! Fish around the island and the shoreline structure at the south end of the lake. Contact Tri-State Outfitters (509)765-9338 or Suncrest Resort (509)225-3510
Lind Coulee Wasteway- Enters the southeast corner of Potholes Reservoir. This area, although technically connected to the Potholes, is a fishing area all its own and is an excellent place to fish for both largemouth and smallmouth bass. There is a variety of structures and cover, along with shallow bays that attract all kinds of bass from spring until late fall. A good bet for big bass! Contact Potholes State Park (509)765-7271 or MarDon Resort (509)346-2651
Tennant Lake- Southeast of Ferndale. This 43 acre lake provides fair bass action. Bring along some type of small floating device as there is no boat ramp here.
Cain Lake- South of Lake Whatcom on the Whatcom-Skagit County line. Largemouths begin to bite around May and the angling actions is good throughout the rest of the summer. Try fishing around the many docks on the lake! Contact Glenhaven Country Store (360)595-9114 or Priced Less Sporting Goods (360)855-0895
Killebrew Lake- Located at the south end of Orcas Island. This lake is only 13 acres so you have to fish it from the bank or a float tube. The bass arent really big in this lake but they are abundant! Contact Skagit Anglers (360)336-3232
Grandy Lake- Located northeast of Hamilton in Skagit County. Plenty of bass in the 4 to 5lb range. Best months are June through August especially in the evenings.
Hummel Lake- Located east of Fisherman Bay near the north end of Lopez Island. Fishing for the laregmouths in this lake starts picking up in June. The lake is only 35 acres and about 10 feet deep so it warms up quickly and fishing for spawning bass is a good bet. Contact Spenser Spit State Park (360)468-2551
Lake Samish- Located southeast of Bellingham. I dont know a whole lot about this lake, but its reported to contain quite a few largemouth bass. Contact Priced Less Sporting Goods (360)855-0895
