Antilon (Lower) is a lake in Chelan County, Washington and covers about 35.5 acres.
Antilon (Lower) can be broken down in a few passes: shallow cover, the first break, and the deepest useful water.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Antilon (Lower) include Black Crappie and Pumpkinseed.
During an overcast morning near a channel bend near firm bottom, fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops for black crappie.
Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout, and Tiger 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 slow shoreline pass near scattered wood while the water is falling, use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket.
Season by Season
While using one careful route near scattered wood after warm rain, early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again.
A Simple Tackle Plan
During a steady fall day near a clean gravel patch with light wind, a medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle.
During a calm morning near the downwind side under flat light, 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.
