Mirror Lake in Kittitas County is a lake in Washington and covers about 28.3 acres.
Mirror Lake can be broken down in a few passes: shallow cover, the first break, and the deepest useful water.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Mirror Lake include Brook Trout, Brown Trout, and Cutthroat Trout.
During a warm summer afternoon near a shallow shelf away from empty shoreline, work a small minnow bait, spoon, or streamer along cool breaks and moving water for brown trout.
During a calm morning near a rocky edge while the water is rising, Golden Trout, and Rainbow 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.
How to Read the Water
During a quick scouting pass near a shallow shelf after a cold night, 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.
Season by Season
While using one check of the nearest drop near scattered wood beside useful cover, 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.
A Simple Tackle Plan
During a cool spring morning near an open-water edge near visible bait, 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 careful second pass near a soft-to-hard bottom change where two features meet, record the wind, water color, depth along the best drop, 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.
