Fish species in Starzman Lake Middle

Official stocking history

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.

Starzman Lake Middle is a lake in Okanogan County, Washington and covers about 6.3 acres.

The small size of Starzman Lake Middle makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Starzman Lake Middle include Westslope Cutthroat Trout.

During a warm summer afternoon near a protected point beside useful cover, Brook Trout, 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.

How to Read the Water

During a low-light period near the edge of deeper water before changing depth, 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.

Season by Season

While using one careful route near a clean gravel patch beside useful cover, 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.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During the final pass near a shaded bank while the water is falling, 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 check of nearby water near scattered wood in clear water, record the wind, water color, water depth at the strike, 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.
