Liberty Lake is a lake in Spokane County, Washington.
No reliable acreage is listed for Liberty Lake, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.
Fish listed for Liberty Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Common Carp, Lake Whitefish, Largemouth Bass, Largescale Sucker, Northern Pikeminnow, Peamouth Chub, Pumpkinseed, Redside Shiner, Smallmouth Bass, Kokanee Salmon, Westslope Cutthroat Trout, and Yellow Perch.
During a short evening pass near a protected point under flat light, keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf for yellow perch.
During a short evening pass near a small drop away from empty shoreline, fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops for black crappie.
During a warm summer afternoon near a protected point before changing depth, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During an overcast morning near a shallow shelf while the water is rising, drag a tube or Ned rig across rock and the hard edge of a point for smallmouth bass.
Other targets listed here include Largemouth Bass, Brown Bullhead, Common Carp, and Lake Whitefish; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig.
Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Channel Catfish, Rainbow Trout, Tiger Trout, and Walleye have also been stocked here; that proves fish were released, but it does not promise that they are still common or easy to catch.
During a bright afternoon near a firm-bottom flat while the water is falling, 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.
While using a simple look at cover and depth near a quiet corner while the water is falling, 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.
During a cool spring morning near an open-water edge before changing areas, 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 first pass near a channel bend with a slow lure, 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.
