Fish species in Ferry Lake

Official stocking history

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.

Ferry Lake is a lake in Ferry County, Washington and covers about 20 acres.

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

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Ferry Lake include Brook Trout, Brown Trout, and Cutthroat Trout.

During a low-light period near a narrow cove with a moving bait, work a small minnow bait, spoon, or streamer along cool breaks and moving water for brown trout.

During a quick scouting pass near a windblown shore near firm bottom, kokanee Salmon, and 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.

How to Read the Water

During a short evening pass near a quiet corner where two features meet, 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 one check of the nearest drop near a small drop away from empty shoreline, 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 a steady fall day near the outside weed line in stained 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 an overcast morning near a clean gravel patch under flat light, record the wind, water color, depth beside useful 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.
