White Lakes is a lake in Washington, near Okanogan County.
White Lakes in the northern part of Okanogan County is a lake in Washington and covers about 1.9 acres.
On a water as small as White Lakes, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.
Fish listed for White Lakes include Cutthroat Trout, Golden Trout, and Rainbow Trout.
During the last hour of daylight near a firm-bottom flat before changing areas, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a methodical search near a small drop where two features meet, 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.
While using a small search around the first point near a channel bend where food is present, early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again.
During the final pass near a windblown shore beside useful cover, 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 first pass near the mouth of a pocket away from empty shoreline, 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.
