No reliable acreage is listed for Billy Clapp Lake, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.
Billy Clapp Lake is a narrow Columbia Basin Project reservoir fed from Banks Lake through the Main Canal. Clear water, steep basalt, kokanee, trout, walleye, and bass give it both open-water and rocky-shore patterns.
Troll for kokanee or rainbow trout over the old channel, jig firm shelves for walleye, and drag tubes along basalt for smallmouth.
Canal flow can move water even when wind is calm. The narrow shape makes it easier to compare the channel, one rocky wall, and one protected pocket in a single pass.
After the first bite on Billy Clapp Lake, note whether it came from moving water, rock, weeds, wood, or open water because that one detail is more useful than a broad report from another end of the lake and tells you what kind of feature to repeat nearby.
Keep Billy Clapp Lake's open-water fish and shoreline fish on separate passes because the main targets here include kokanee salmon, rainbow trout, walleye and smallmouth bass, and those fish do not all use the same cover, depth, or lure speed even when they are feeding in the same part of the lake.
Before leaving Billy Clapp Lake, compare the best feature at two nearby depths and change lure speed once so that short check shows whether the problem is the location or the presentation without turning the rest of the trip into random casting.
The main difference is easy to see: Billy Clapp Lake is a narrow Columbia Basin Project reservoir fed from Banks Lake through the Main Canal.
Start simply: Troll for kokanee or rainbow trout over the old channel, jig firm shelves for walleye, and drag tubes along basalt for smallmouth.
Watch this closely: Canal flow can move water even when wind is calm.
