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.
Ellinor Lake is a lake in Mason County, Washington and covers about 5.6 acres.
The small size of Ellinor Lake makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
During the last hour of daylight near a creek-side turn after a cold night, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
During an overcast morning near a quiet corner with a moving bait, begin with one slow bottom presentation and one moving bait, then let bites show whether fish are holding close to cover or roaming open water.
During the first pass near a rocky edge where food is present, 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 the first pass near an open-water edge beside useful cover, 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 pass along the first break near an open-water edge with light wind, 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 short evening pass near a creek-side turn before changing depth, a medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle.
During an overcast morning near the first break in stained water, record the wind, water color, water depth at the strike, 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.
