Rampart Lake is a lake in Washington, near Okanogan County.
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.
Rampart Lake is a lake in Okanogan County, Washington and covers about 8.2 acres.
On a water as small as Rampart Lake, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.
Fish listed for Rampart Lake include Cutthroat Trout and Rainbow Trout.
During the first pass near an open-water edge after a cold night, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During the final pass near a narrow cove while the water is rising, Golden 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 the first pass near a soft-to-hard bottom change where two features meet, 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 short pass along useful shoreline near a creek-side turn away from empty shoreline, 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.
During the last hour of daylight near a shaded bank 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 low-light period near the mouth of a pocket after a cold night, record the wind, water color, depth beside useful cover, 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.
