Dewey 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.
Dewey Lake is a lake in Yakima County, Washington and covers about 50.6 acres.
During the start of a weather change near an open-water edge where two features meet, a point, weed edge, or small drop is more important than simply covering the whole shoreline.
Fish listed for Dewey Lake include Brook Trout, Brown Trout, and Cutthroat Trout.
During a cold winter outing near a soft-to-hard bottom change where food is present, work a small minnow bait, spoon, or streamer along cool breaks and moving water for brown trout.
During a quick scouting pass near the mouth of a pocket beside useful cover, 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 slow shoreline pass near a soft-to-hard bottom change where food is present, 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 one check of the nearest drop near a channel bend while the water is falling, 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 careful second pass near a quiet corner 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 a cool spring morning near a quiet corner after warm rain, record the wind, water color, depth where the bait 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.
