Meadow Lake is a lake in Washington, near Okanogan County.
Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.
Meadow Lake in the north-central part of Okanogan County is a lake in Washington and covers about 2.3 acres.
On a water as small as Meadow Lake, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.
Fish listed for Meadow Lake include Golden Trout and Rainbow Trout.
During a steady fall day near a small drop while the water is rising, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a short evening pass near the outside weed line where two features meet, Cutthroat Trout 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 check of nearby water near a creek-side turn before changing areas, 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 pass along the first break near a creek-side turn after warm rain, 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.
During the first pass near the first break under flat light, 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 cold winter outing near a creek-side turn in stained water, 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.
