Middle Pine Lake is a reservoir in Spokane County, Washington and covers about 24 acres and holds roughly 75 acre-feet.
Middle Pine Lake is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
Fish and Baits
During a cool spring morning near a shallow shelf away from empty shoreline, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
During an overcast morning near a small drop in stained water, begin with one slow bottom presentation and one moving bait, then let bites show whether fish are holding close to cover or roaming open water.
How to Read the Water
During a steady fall day near a small drop 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.
Season by Season
While using one protected-water check near a rocky edge after a cold night, early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again.
A Simple Tackle Plan
During the start of a weather change near the outside weed line after a cold night, a medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle.
During a check of nearby water near a rocky edge while the water is falling, record the wind, water color, depth where the lure was hit, 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.
