Doelle Lakes is a lake in Chelan County, Washington and covers about 8.6 acres.

Fish listed for Doelle Lakes include Cutthroat Trout, Golden Trout, and Rainbow Trout.
During a bright afternoon near a narrow cove in stained water, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a calm morning near a creek-side turn where two features meet, 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 a short pass along useful shoreline near a firm-bottom flat before changing areas, early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again.
During a low-light period near a channel bend where food is present, 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 slow shoreline pass near the edge of deeper water under flat light, record the wind, water color, depth near the strongest cover, 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.
