Fish species in Hidden Lake

Hidden Lake in Okanogan County is a lake in Washington and covers about 1.73 acres.

The small size of Hidden Lake makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.

Fish and Baits

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

During a warm summer afternoon near the outside weed line while the water is falling, 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 channel bend 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 a quick comparison of two banks near a protected point 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 an overcast morning near a channel bend with light wind, 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 close to shade, record the wind, water color, depth that held fish, 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.
