Murray Lake is a lake in Okanogan County, Washington and covers about 11.37 acres.
On a water as small as Murray Lake, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Murray Lake include Brook Trout, Cutthroat Trout, and Rainbow Trout.
During the final pass near a creek-side turn while the water is falling, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
How to Read the Water
During the first hour near a narrow cove before changing depth, 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 a simple look at cover and depth near a windblown shore with a slow lure, spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search.
A Simple Tackle Plan
During a steady fall day near the edge of deeper water 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 calm morning near the edge of deeper water after warm rain, record the wind, water color, depth of the working lure, 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.
