Cases Pond Raymond WA: who can fish, how to get there, and tips

A clear guide to Cases Pond Raymond WA and Cases Pond Pacific County rules — written so families know who may fish before they pack the rods.

Cases Pond is a 2.3-acre lowland lake in Pacific County, Washington, with special fishing rules from the Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife (WDFW). Searches for Cases Pond Raymond WA or Cases Pond Pacific County usually lead here: a small stocked trout pond with shoreline access and a dock/platform, not a full-service park. The City of Raymond parks page lists Case’s Pond on Henkle Street toward Menlo and notes Lions Club maintenance plus periodic trout stocking.

Who may fish (WDFW special rules)

WDFW states Cases Pond is open only to:

• Juvenile anglers — youth under 15
• Senior anglers — age 70 and older
• Anglers with a disability who possess a designated harvester companion card

Two-pole fishing is not allowed. Per the Washington Westside Lakes Special Rules (A–E) on eRegulations, last updated October 5, 2026, Cases Pond is open year-round for all game fish under statewide minimum size and daily limit, with the eligibility and two-pole restrictions above. Confirm on the live Westside Lakes Special Rules: A–E page and WDFW fishing regulations before you go.

Getting there and what to expect

WDFW lists good shoreline access around most of the pond, a fishing dock/platform, and rough trails around most of the shoreline. There are no restroom facilities. Elevation is listed at 32 feet; coordinates appear on the WDFW page for mapping. From Hill Top Hideaway, Cases Pond is just down the road — a short local hop. City materials place it on Henkle Street headed toward Menlo. Plan restrooms in town before or after your visit.

Honest tips

1. Re-read the official Cases Pond page the same day you fish.
2. Bring only eligible anglers’ gear to the water.
3. Expect a quiet special fishery: no restrooms, rough trails, dock/platform access.
4. Pair a pond morning with the paved Willapa Hills Trail segment between Raymond and South Bend, or downtown parks and the Northwest Carriage Museum.
5. Check WDFW catchable trout plant reports if stocking timing matters to you — plants vary and are not guaranteed on any given day.

Licenses and companions

License rules differ by age and residency. Confirm current details with WDFW before you go. If an angler with a disability uses a designated harvester companion card, bring the card and understand who may assist under WDFW rules. Pack out everything you pack in — the Lions Club and city help keep this Cases Pond Raymond WA site welcoming for the kids and seniors it is meant to serve.

Combining the pond with trail or bay days

Eligible anglers often make Cases Pond the morning stop, then roll onto the paved Willapa Hills Trail toward South Bend for an easy afternoon. Others keep rods light and spend the rest of the day on Willapa Bay birding viewpoints managed by Willapa National Wildlife Refuge — always follow refuge day-use guidance. If your group includes people who cannot fish here under WDFW rules, Raymond WA lodging with a porch and grill gives everyone a comfortable place to regroup without rushing back to a distant hotel strip.
