Fish species in Hunsinger 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.

Hunsinger Lake is a lake in Okanogan County, Washington and covers about 1.5 acres.

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

Fish and Baits

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

During a calm morning near a shallow shelf before changing areas, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.

During a cool spring morning near an open-water edge before changing areas, 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 a cool spring morning near the outside weed line under flat light, Make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break.

Season by Season

While using a slow pass beside cover near a firm-bottom flat away from empty shoreline, 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 last hour of daylight near a rocky edge 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 a careful second pass near the mouth of a pocket with a moving 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.
