Summary
Access is best from the WDFW public boat launch on the northeast shore; there’s limited shore access near the launch and along the road. Trolling from a boat using spinners, spoons, or PowerBait is most effective. The lake is open seasonally (typically March 1–June 30 and Dec 1–Feb 28). There are no docks or piers, and shoreline is mostly undeveloped. Focus on deeper sections near drop-offs. Occasional brown trout may be caught, but rainbows dominate.

Angling Safety Guidelines
Check local fishing rules, seasons, size limits, and license requirements to ensure legal and sustainable angling.
Handle Fish Responsibly
Use wet hands, minimize air exposure, and release fish gently to improve survival rates when practicing catch-and-release.
Choose the Right Gear
Match your rod, line, and tackle to the species and conditions to increase success and reduce unnecessary harm to fish.
Respect the Waterway
Avoid disturbing habitat, prevent bank erosion, and keep a safe distance from spawning areas to protect ecosystems.
Keep It Clean
Pack out all line, hooks, bait containers, and trash—discarded gear can injure wildlife and degrade waterways.
