Lenz Lake is a lake in Stevens County, Washington and covers about 2.02 acres.
Lenz Lake is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Lenz Lake include Brook Trout, Rainbow Trout, and Westslope Cutthroat Trout.
During an overcast morning near the mouth of a pocket near firm bottom, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
How to Read the Water
During the final pass near the first break near visible bait, Make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break.
Season by Season
While using a first shoreline check near a quiet corner after warm rain, shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move.
A Simple Tackle Plan
During the start of a weather change near the first break 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 start of a weather change near a windblown shore where food is present, 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.
