Crappie
Crappie anglers visiting Castle Rock, Washington, should set their sights on Silver Lake and the backwaters connected to the Cowlitz River. Silver Lake, in particular, boasts a robust crappie population. Springtime, when the water temperatures rise, is the peak season for targeting these panfish as they move into shallow areas to spawn. Focus your efforts around submerged vegetation, docks, and any available structure. Small jigs tipped with live minnows or crappie nibbles are highly effective. A local tip: try fishing near the outlet of the lake where it connects back to the Cowlitz River; crappie often congregate in these areas. Be mindful of the wind, as Silver Lake can get choppy quickly. The crappie here tend to be good size, so be prepared for some exciting action.
