Fish species in Fourmile Lake

Fourmile Lake is a lake in Stevens County, Washington and covers about 27.43 acres.

Fourmile Lake is compact enough to fish slowly, but a change in weeds or bottom can still split it into separate patterns.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Fourmile Lake include Brook Trout, Rainbow Trout, and Westslope Cutthroat Trout.

During a short evening pass near a soft-to-hard bottom change where two features meet, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.

How to Read the Water

During a methodical search near a shallow shelf in stained water, start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it.

Season by Season

While using a short check of nearby structure near a quiet corner with a slow lure, 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.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During the start of a weather change near the mouth of a pocket 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 the start of a weather change near the outside weed line near visible bait, record the wind, water color, depth of the working lure, 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.
