Mallard Marsh is a lake in Pend Oreille County, Washington.

Fish listed for Mallard Marsh include Brook Trout, Rainbow Trout, and Westslope Cutthroat Trout.
During a short evening pass near the downwind side under flat light, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During the start of a weather change near a firm-bottom flat away from empty shoreline, use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket.
While using a first shoreline check near the mouth of a pocket after a cold night, 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 return to the best bank near the edge of deeper water where food is present, 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 final pass near the downwind side close to shade, 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.
