Beitey Lake is a reservoir in Stevens County, Washington and covers about 24.2 acres and holds roughly 100 acre-feet.
Beitey Lake is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Beitey Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Brook Trout, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pikeminnow, Pumpkinseed, Redside Shiner, Smallmouth Bass, Rainbow Trout, Westslope Cutthroat Trout, and Yellow Perch.
During a low-light period near a quiet corner with light wind, keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf for yellow perch.
During an overcast morning near a small drop with light wind, fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops for black crappie.
During the last hour of daylight near the first break close to shade, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a calm morning near the first break before changing areas, drag a tube or Ned rig across rock and the hard edge of a point for smallmouth bass.
Other targets listed here include Largemouth Bass, Brown Bullhead, and Rainbow Trout; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig.
How to Read the Water
During a return to the best bank near a firm-bottom flat with a moving bait, Make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break.
Season by Season
While using one protected-water check near an open-water edge with stable weather, 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.
A Simple Tackle Plan
During a bright afternoon near the edge of deeper water with a slow lure, 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 start of a weather change near a soft-to-hard bottom change in stained water, record the wind, water color, depth along the active edge, 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.
