Lake Margaret in Chelan County is a lake in Washington and covers about 10.13 acres.
Lake Margaret is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Lake Margaret include Brook Trout, Cutthroat Trout, and Rainbow Trout.
During a low-light period near scattered wood near visible bait, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
How to Read the Water
During a cool spring morning near the outside weed line under flat light, do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself.
Season by Season
While using a first shoreline check near the mouth of a pocket where food is present, 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.
A Simple Tackle Plan
During a return to the best bank near a narrow cove in clear 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 the last hour of daylight near a shaded bank with a moving bait, record the wind, water color, depth along the best drop, 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.
