Lilly Lake in Ferry County is a lake in Washington and covers about 4.23 acres.
On a water as small as Lilly Lake, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Lilly Lake include Brook Trout, Rainbow Trout, and Westslope Cutthroat Trout.
During the final pass near a soft-to-hard bottom change where two features meet, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
How to Read the Water
During the first hour near a firm-bottom flat close to shade, 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 quick comparison of two banks near the first break with stable weather, 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 a short evening pass near scattered wood while the water is rising, 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 calm morning near the mouth of a pocket before changing depth, record the wind, water color, depth where the lure was hit, 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.
