Reflection Lake is a reservoir in Washington, near Spokane County.
Reflection Lake in Spokane County is a reservoir in Washington and covers about 58 acres and holds roughly 490 acre-feet.
Reflection Lake can be broken down in a few passes: shallow cover, the first break, and the deepest useful water.
Fish listed for Reflection Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Brook Trout, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pikeminnow, Pumpkinseed, Redside Shiner, Smallmouth Bass, Rainbow Trout, Westslope Cutthroat Trout, and Yellow Perch.
During a check of nearby water near the edge of deeper water with light wind, keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf for yellow perch.
During the first hour near a creek-side turn where two features meet, fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops for black crappie.
During a cool spring morning near the mouth of a pocket where two features meet, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a slow shoreline pass near a clean gravel patch before changing areas, drag a tube or Ned rig across rock and the hard edge of a point for smallmouth bass.
During the last hour of daylight near a creek-side turn with a slow lure, Other targets listed here include Largemouth Bass, Brown Bullhead, and Rainbow Trout; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig.
During a steady fall day near the mouth of a pocket beside useful cover, 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 check of the nearest drop near a quiet corner before changing areas, spring fishing starts with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace.
During the first pass near the first break while the water is rising, 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 protected point before changing depth, record the wind, water color, depth where the bait 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.
