Medicine Lake is a lake in Washington, near Okanogan County.
Medicine Lake is a lake in Okanogan County, Washington and covers about 43.49 acres.
Medicine Lake can be broken down in a few passes: shallow cover, the first break, and the deepest useful water.
Fish listed for Medicine Lake include Brook Trout, Cutthroat Trout, and Rainbow Trout.
During the last hour of daylight near a clean gravel patch close to shade, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a short evening pass near a shaded bank in stained water, 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.
While using one careful route near the first break with a moving bait, 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 calm morning near a shallow shelf where two features meet, 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 an open-water edge with a moving bait, record the wind, water color, depth where the bait worked, 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.
