Fish species in Lanham Lake

Lanham Lake is a lake in Chelan County, Washington and covers about 7.1 acres.

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

Fish and Baits

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

During a cold winter outing near a quiet corner while the water is falling, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.

How to Read the Water

During a calm morning near an open-water edge close to shade, 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 a slow pass beside cover near a shaded bank beside useful cover, 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 first hour near the mouth of a pocket near visible bait, 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 cold winter outing near a shallow shelf beside useful cover, 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.
