Blue Lake is a lake in Washington, near Stevens County.
Blue Lake in the northern part of Stevens County is a lake in Washington and covers about 1.98 acres.
During the first hour near a shaded bank in stained water, Blue Lake is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
During the first hour near a shallow shelf before changing depth, fish listed for Blue Lake include Brook Trout, Rainbow Trout, and Westslope Cutthroat Trout.
During a return to the best bank near an open-water edge after a cold night, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a cold winter outing near the edge of deeper water with a slow lure, 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 a short pass along useful shoreline near a clean gravel patch before changing areas, spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search.
During a cool spring morning near a shaded bank while the water is rising, 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 last hour of daylight near a protected point in stained water, record the wind, water color, depth of the best pass, 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.
