What Makes Suttle Lake Different
Suttle Lake is a compact natural lake along Lake Creek with kokanee, brown trout, and rainbow trout using open water, shelves, and the outlet side.
Troll above kokanee, cast small spoons for rainbows, and use a minnow lure during low light for brown trout near points or the outlet.
How Suttle Lake Fishes
Suttle is much smaller and shallower than nearby Odell, so anglers can check the main open-water depth and the Lake Creek end without a long run.
Fishing becomes easier when the trip starts with one goal: use the Lake Creek end and open middle for kokanee, brown trout, and rainbow trout. On Suttle Lake, that separates a real pattern from random casting.
A second pass should follow the same main idea, which is to use the Lake Creek end and open middle for kokanee, brown trout, and rainbow trout, while holding the lure near the depth of the first two bites, changing speed once, and checking one nearby piece of matching water before leaving the area so the next move is based on a repeatable fish location instead of a guess or an old report from another part of the lake.
Suttle gives anglers three clear jobs: locate kokanee away from shore, check shelves for rainbows, and work a larger minnow lure for brown trout during low light. Keeping those passes separate is faster than pulling one lure around the whole shoreline.
