Poe Mountain Lake is a lake in Chelan County, Washington.
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.
Poe Mountain Lake is a lake in Chelan County, Washington and covers about 1.2 acres.
On a water as small as Poe Mountain Lake, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.
During a slow shoreline pass near the outside weed line before changing areas, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
During a slow shoreline pass near the downwind side while the water is rising, 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 a quick scouting pass near a channel bend beside useful cover, Cutthroat Trout, and Rainbow 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.
During a warm summer afternoon near a quiet corner with stable weather, use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket.
While using a first shoreline check near the mouth of a pocket with a slow lure, early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again.
During the start of a weather change near a windblown shore in clear water, 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 a quick scouting pass near the first break before changing depth, record the wind, water color, depth along the active edge, 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.
