Snook Lake is a reservoir in Washington, near Stevens County.
Snook Lake is a reservoir in Stevens County, Washington and covers about 14.3 acres and holds roughly 50 acre-feet.
On a water as small as Snook Lake, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.
Fish listed for Snook 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 methodical search near the first break near firm bottom, keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf for yellow perch.
During a careful second pass near a rocky edge with stable weather, fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops for black crappie.
During a careful second pass near the first break after warm rain, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During the final pass near a clean gravel patch close to shade, drag a tube or Ned rig across rock and the hard edge of a point for smallmouth bass.
During a cool spring morning near a channel bend where two features meet, 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 cool spring morning near the edge of deeper water in clear 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 a brief open-water pass near a shaded bank after warm rain, 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 start of a weather change near the edge of deeper water in stained water, 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 an overcast morning near a quiet corner with a slow lure, 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.
