Fish species in Cody Lake

Cody Lake is a lake in Ferry County, Washington and covers about 6.84 acres.

Cody Lake is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.

Fish and Baits

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

During a cool spring morning near a clean gravel patch while the water is falling, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.

How to Read the Water

During a bright afternoon near a creek-side turn away from empty shoreline, 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 simple check of moving water near an open-water edge before changing depth, 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.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During the first pass near a channel bend where two features meet, 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 scattered wood beside useful cover, 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.
