Pacific Lake

Until the spring of 2017, this lake had been dry and had not held enough water to produce a fishery since the 1990's.  WDFW took advantage of the high runoff (which almost filled the lake entirely) and stocked the lake with catchable size and fall fry rainbow trout.  WDFW will monitor the lake level and will continue to provide a fishery here when water levels allow. Boat launching is available through the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) water access.

Fishing prospects calendar

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.
