Airplane Lake is a lake in Washington, near Chelan County.
Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.
Airplane Lake in Chelan County is a lake in Washington and covers about 9.4 acres.
Airplane Lake is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
Fish listed for Airplane Lake include Golden Trout and Rainbow Trout.
During the last hour of daylight near a creek-side turn close to shade, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
Cutthroat Trout have also been stocked here; that proves fish were released, but it does not promise that they are still common or easy to catch.
During a slow shoreline pass near the downwind side in clear water, do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself.
While using one pass beside the best cover near a quiet corner while the water is rising, spring fishing starts with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace.
During the last hour of daylight near the outside weed line with light wind, a light spinning rod, thin line, a few small spoons, inline spinners, and jigs cover the listed trout; carry one slightly heavier setup when other fish or windy water call for more control.
During a warm summer afternoon near a protected point while the water is rising, record the wind, water color, depth where fish were holding, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce.
