Official stocking history

Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.

Nunnally Lake is a reservoir in Grant County, Washington.

Without a dependable size figure for Nunnally Lake, weeds, rock, water color, and nearby depth are the best starting clues.

Fish and Baits

During the final pass near scattered wood in clear water, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

During a cold winter outing near a protected point beside useful cover, 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.

During the start of a weather change near a quiet corner while the water is rising, Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout, and Tiger 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 the final pass near a firm-bottom flat while the water is rising, 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.

Season by Season

While using a simple look at cover and depth near the edge of deeper water close to shade, 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 mouth of a pocket close to shade, 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 the first hour near a clean gravel patch near visible bait, 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.
