Ginnette Lake is a lake in Yakima County, Washington and covers about 0.8 acres.
The small size of Ginnette Lake makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Ginnette Lake include Golden Trout and Rainbow Trout.
During the final pass near a clean gravel patch near visible bait, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During the first hour near a creek-side turn with stable weather, Cutthroat 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 the first pass near the edge of deeper water while the water is rising, 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 simple two-depth check near the downwind side near visible bait, shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move.
A Simple Tackle Plan
During the last hour of daylight near a protected point close to shade, 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 final pass near a channel bend in clear water, record the wind, water color, depth that produced twice, 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.
