Taylor Lake is a lake in Stevens County, Washington and covers about 3.27 acres.
Taylor Lake is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Taylor Lake include Brook Trout, Rainbow Trout, and Westslope Cutthroat Trout.
During a quick scouting pass near a rocky edge with a slow lure, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
How to Read the Water
During a return to the best bank near the outside weed line where food is present, 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.
Season by Season
While using a point-to-pocket comparison near a creek-side turn after warm rain, 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 a low-light period near a quiet corner after a cold night, 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 start of a weather change near a channel bend after warm rain, record the wind, water color, depth of the first bite, 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.
