Washington Lake with Stella Lake attached is a great smallmouth and largemouth factory! This body of water has gained popularity over the recent years for its better average sized smallmouth. If you get into the largemouth also be prepared for a better average size. With the new pressure from the Highschool and Weekend Warriors series - it can fish difficult at times. One tactics that seems to work even in the toughest of occasions is to find some mid-depth humps with an abundance of grass and throw a bladed jig over the tops, sides, and breaks of the hump. You will be surprised how many bites you will get if you pattern that around the lake, or even on sporadic cuts and dives in the weed-lines near points. This lake can be extremely fun or very frustrating - but definitely give it a try!
