Meadow Lake in Spokane County is a lake in Washington and covers about 33.85 acres.
During the first pass near a soft-to-hard bottom change near firm bottom, a point, weed edge, or small drop is more important than simply covering the whole shoreline.
Fish listed for Meadow Lake include Brook Trout, Rainbow Trout, and Westslope Cutthroat Trout.
During a cold winter outing near a small drop near visible bait, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a return to the best bank near the mouth of a pocket in clear water, 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 a quick comparison of two banks near a windblown shore with stable weather, 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 careful second pass near a windblown shore with a slow lure, 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 methodical search near a narrow cove while the water is rising, record the wind, water color, depth along the active edge, 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.
