Cramer Lake is a lake in Washington, near Yakima County.
Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.
Cramer Lake is a lake in Yakima County, Washington and covers about 17.7 acres.
The small size of Cramer Lake makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
Fish listed for Cramer Lake include Brook Trout and Cutthroat Trout.
During a quick scouting pass near a quiet corner where two features meet, rainbow 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.
During a short evening pass near a shaded bank after a cold night, 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.
While using one pass along the first break near a small drop away from empty shoreline, 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.
During a cool spring morning near a clean gravel patch in clear water, 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 a short evening pass near the downwind side near firm bottom, 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.
