Little Slate Lake is a lake in Okanogan County, Washington and covers about 1.63 acres.
The small size of Little Slate Lake makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
Fish listed for Little Slate Lake include Brook Trout, Cutthroat Trout, and Rainbow Trout.
During a methodical search near the edge of deeper water in stained water, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a steady fall day near a windblown shore with a slow lure, start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it.
While using one check of the nearest drop near a small drop before changing areas, spring fishing starts with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace.
During a cool spring morning near a clean gravel patch close to shade, 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 bright afternoon near a windblown shore near firm bottom, record the wind, water color, depth where fish bit, 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.
