Angel Lake is a lake in Yakima County, Washington and covers about 0.7 acres.
On a water as small as Angel Lake, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Angel Lake include Cutthroat Trout and Rainbow Trout.
During a methodical search near a shaded bank near visible bait, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During the final pass near the first break near visible bait, Brook 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.
How to Read the Water
During a bright afternoon near the first break before changing depth, 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.
Season by Season
While using a shallow-to-deep search near a windblown shore while the water is falling, shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move.
A Simple Tackle Plan
During a bright afternoon near a firm-bottom flat away from empty shoreline, 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 the final pass near the outside weed line where food is present, record the wind, water color, lure depth that worked, 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.
