Tungsten Lake is a lake in Okanogan County, Washington and covers about 15.57 acres.
On a water as small as Tungsten Lake, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Tungsten Lake include Brook Trout, Cutthroat Trout, and Rainbow Trout.
During an overcast morning near a narrow cove with light wind, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
How to Read the Water
During a quick scouting pass near an open-water edge with light wind, 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 a simple check of moving water near a quiet corner with a moving bait, 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.
A Simple Tackle Plan
During a return to the best bank near the outside weed line near firm bottom, 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 calm morning near a windblown shore after a cold night, record the wind, water color, depth where fish bit, 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.
