Pittman Lake is a lake in Washington, near Stevens County.
Pittman Lake is a lake in Stevens County, Washington and covers about 5.44 acres.
On a water as small as Pittman Lake, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.
Fish listed for Pittman Lake include Brook Trout, Rainbow Trout, and Westslope Cutthroat Trout.
During a warm summer afternoon near a windblown shore while the water is falling, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a methodical search near a channel bend in stained water, start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it.
While using one pass beside the best cover near a shallow shelf in clear water, 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 the first pass near the outside weed line with stable weather, 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 the last hour of daylight near the edge of deeper water away from empty shoreline, record the wind, water color, depth of the first good pass, 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.
