Jason Lakes is a lake in Chelan County, Washington and covers about 1.3 acres.
On a water as small as Jason Lakes, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Jason Lakes include Cutthroat Trout, Golden Trout, and Rainbow Trout.
During the start of a weather change near a protected point after warm rain, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
How to Read the Water
During a check of nearby water near the mouth of a pocket with a slow lure, use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket.
Season by Season
While using one check of the nearest drop near a channel bend after a cold night, 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 a careful second pass near a narrow cove after warm rain, 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 with light wind, record the wind, water color, lure depth that worked, 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.
