Fish species in Morris Lake

Morris Lake in Okanogan County is a lake in Washington and covers about 21.99 acres.

Morris Lake is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Morris Lake include Brook Trout, Cutthroat Trout, and Rainbow Trout.

During the final pass near scattered wood while the water is rising, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.

How to Read the Water

During a steady fall day near a quiet corner with light wind, use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket.

Season by Season

While using a short cover-to-depth check near a soft-to-hard bottom change 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.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During the first hour near a soft-to-hard bottom change where food is present, 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 an overcast morning near a firm-bottom flat where food is present, 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.
