Yocum Lake is a lake in Washington, near Pend Oreille County.
Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.
Yocum Lake is a lake in Pend Oreille County, Washington and covers about 43.7 acres.
Yocum Lake is compact enough to fish slowly, but a change in weeds or bottom can still split it into separate patterns.
Fish listed for Yocum Lake include Brook Trout, Brown Trout, and Westslope Cutthroat Trout.
During a low-light period near the mouth of a pocket while the water is falling, work a small minnow bait, spoon, or streamer along cool breaks and moving water for brown trout.
During the last hour of daylight near a quiet corner with a slow lure, Cutthroat Trout, and Rainbow 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.
During a warm summer afternoon near a clean gravel patch 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.
While using a first shoreline check near the mouth of a pocket while the water is falling, 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 a steady fall day near a windblown shore where two features meet, 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 last hour of daylight near the edge of deeper water where two features meet, record the wind, water color, depth near the strongest cover, 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.
