Fish species in Camp Lake

Camp Lake in Kittitas County is a lake in Washington and covers about 4.7 acres.

The small size of Camp Lake makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Camp Lake include Brook Trout, Cutthroat Trout, and Rainbow Trout.

During a quick scouting pass near a small drop with stable weather, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.

How to Read the Water

During a careful second pass near the downwind side 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 careful route near a creek-side turn before changing depth, 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 cold winter outing near a quiet corner before changing depth, 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 the first break away from empty shoreline, record the wind, water color, depth of the first bite, 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.
