Nettleton Lake is a lake in Washington, near Stevens County.
Nettleton Lake is a lake in Stevens County, Washington and covers about 1.24 acres.
On a water as small as Nettleton Lake, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.
Fish listed for Nettleton Lake include Brook Trout, Rainbow Trout, and Westslope Cutthroat Trout.
During the start of a weather change near a protected point while the water is rising, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During the first pass near the edge of deeper water while the water is falling, do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself.
While using a simple two-depth check near a small drop away from empty shoreline, shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move.
During a bright afternoon near a firm-bottom flat with a moving 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 methodical search near the mouth of a pocket after warm rain, record the wind, water color, lure depth that 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.
