Fish species in White Lake

White Lake in Stevens County is a lake in Washington and covers about 7.66 acres.

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

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for White Lake include Brook Trout, Rainbow Trout, and Westslope Cutthroat Trout.

During a careful second pass near the edge of deeper water while the water is falling, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.

How to Read the Water

During a bright afternoon near a creek-side turn away from empty shoreline, 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 the downwind side in clear water, shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During a bright afternoon near a clean gravel patch 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 an overcast morning near a quiet corner before changing areas, record the wind, water color, depth that held fish, 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.
