Jackpot Lake is a lake in Lewis County, Washington and covers about 2.6 acres.
On a water as small as Jackpot Lake, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.
Fish listed for Jackpot Lake include Brook Trout and Rainbow Trout.
During a steady fall day near a channel bend with a slow lure, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a warm summer afternoon near a shallow shelf where two features meet, 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.
During a bright afternoon near a shallow shelf where food is present, 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 simple look at cover and depth near a firm-bottom flat after a cold night, 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.
During the start of a weather change near a firm-bottom flat with a slow lure, 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 an overcast morning near a quiet corner after a cold night, record the wind, water color, depth where fish bit, 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.
