Lime Lake in Pend Oreille County is a lake in Washington and covers about 8.94 acres.
During a warm summer afternoon near a firm-bottom flat after a cold night, the small size of Lime Lake makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Lime Lake include Brook Trout, Rainbow Trout, and Westslope Cutthroat Trout.
During a check of nearby water near a creek-side turn before changing areas, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
How to Read the Water
During the start of a weather change near the outside weed line while the water is rising, 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 one pass beside the best cover near a firm-bottom flat 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 return to the best bank near a creek-side turn in stained 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 first pass near a channel bend in clear water, record the wind, water color, depth that produced twice, 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.
