Honey Lake in Okanogan County is a lake in Washington and covers about 12.6 acres.
During a quick scouting pass near the first break away from empty shoreline, On a water as small as Honey Lake, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.
Fish listed for Honey Lake include Brook Trout, Cutthroat Trout, and Rainbow Trout.
During a return to the best bank near a small drop beside useful cover, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During the first hour near a protected point with light wind, 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.
While using a quick look at firm bottom near a windblown shore where two features meet, spring fishing starts with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace.
During a cool spring morning near the mouth of a pocket 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 a careful second pass near scattered wood before changing depth, 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.
