Fish species in Windmill Pond

Windmill Pond is a lake in Spokane County, Washington and covers about 1.18 acres.

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

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Windmill Pond include Brook Trout, Rainbow Trout, and Westslope Cutthroat Trout.

During a bright afternoon near the edge of deeper water beside useful cover, 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 shaded bank 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 an open-water edge where food is present, 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 calm morning near a firm-bottom flat before changing areas, 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 cold winter outing near an open-water edge close to shade, record the wind, water color, depth that produced twice, 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.
