Tranquil Lake is a lake in Chelan County, Washington and covers about 1.5 acres.
Tranquil Lake is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Tranquil Lake include Cutthroat Trout and Rainbow Trout.
During a warm summer afternoon near an open-water edge where two features meet, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a methodical search near a firm-bottom flat near firm bottom, 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.
How to Read the Water
During a steady fall day near the mouth of a pocket while the water is falling, use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket.
Season by Season
While using a small search around the first point near the mouth of a pocket while the water is falling, 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 last hour of daylight near a channel bend after warm rain, 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 low-light period near a protected point with a moving bait, record the wind, water color, depth along the best drop, 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.
