Scheelite Lake is a lake in Okanogan County, Washington and covers about 3.1 acres.
Scheelite Lake is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
Fish listed for Scheelite Lake include Cutthroat Trout and Rainbow Trout.
During a warm summer afternoon near a clean gravel patch under flat light, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a bright afternoon near a rocky edge near visible bait, 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 a calm morning near a channel bend after a cold night, Make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break.
While using a simple look at cover and depth near scattered wood close to shade, 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 hour near a shaded bank away from empty shoreline, 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 final pass near an open-water edge while the water is falling, record the wind, water color, depth that held fish, 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.
