Lake Ivanhoe is a lake in Kittitas County, Washington and covers about 19.03 acres.
The small size of Lake Ivanhoe makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Lake Ivanhoe include Brook Trout, Cutthroat Trout, and Rainbow Trout.
During a cold winter outing near a soft-to-hard bottom change with stable weather, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
How to Read the Water
During a quick scouting pass near the downwind side near visible bait, 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.
Season by Season
While using a short check of nearby structure near a soft-to-hard bottom change in clear water, 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 calm morning near a firm-bottom flat 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 a windblown shore in stained water, record the wind, water color, depth of the first good pass, 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.
