Pine Tree Lake is a lake in Lincoln County, Washington and covers about 6.71 acres.
On a water as small as Pine Tree Lake, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Pine Tree Lake include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, Rainbow Trout, and Yellow Perch.
During the start of a weather change near scattered wood away from empty shoreline, keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf for yellow perch.
During the start of a weather change near a soft-to-hard bottom change with stable weather, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a steady fall day near a clean gravel patch in stained water, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During the first hour near the first break in clear water, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During the first pass near a shaded bank in stained water, Other targets listed here include Rainbow Trout; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig.
How to Read the Water
During the first pass near a clean gravel patch with light wind, 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 one protected-water check near a creek-side turn while the water is rising, 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.
A Simple Tackle Plan
During the start of a weather change near an open-water edge close to shade, 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 warm summer afternoon near a shaded bank while the water is falling, record the wind, water color, depth where fish bit, 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.
