Homestead Lake

Homestead Lake is located north of Moses Lake. While the quality of the Rainbow Trout fishery has declined somewhat over the past decade, the Brown Trout fishery has been good. Angler catch rates aren't necessarily high, but trout size is very good. Brown Trout 20 inches and larger are routinely reported out of Homestead Lake. Anglers must hike-in approximately one mile to access the lake.

Rainbow trout

Fishing success for Rainbow Trout is generally best in the spring when thousands of fish are stocked statewide, but they can be caught year-round in most waters with a little patience and persistence. Success remains high into June and gradually declines as water temperatures increase and fish move offshore to stay cool. Fish that escaped the spring harvest return to the nearshore areas in the fall as waters cool off. Some waters may also be stocked again in the fall further boosting catch rates.
