Spectacle Lake

[Bajema]

Anybody ever fished Spectacle Lake near Tonasket? I'll be there camping with family in a couple weeks and wondering what to expect. I know there will be a dock to fish off, but wondering if it's worth bringing my float tube as well. I'm not expecting to get a lot of fishing in, given that it's a family trip, but I hope to at least get a little time in while I'm there.

I haven’t fished there but definitely bring your tube! Most family gatherings I wished there was a lake I could escape to.......

Lots of Kokanee there. It's not much of a drive to get to Blue and you are just a road climb to Chopaka.

had a lot of fun in the evening fishing bluegil. There all sorts of fish in there. My first Crappie on a fly was caught out of that lake.

Can I get an amen!

Lots of trout in there and every kind of spiny ray you might desire. It will be a tad warm now.

Sounds like I should bring the float tube and that there’s some options on what to target. Should be fun.

And bring a Washington State Gazette. Lots of lakes around that area.

Stocking reports says they put tigers in there…

Depending on the weather between now and then, you may want to skip the trout and concentrate on warmwater species. Besides what others have mentioned, there is a specially managed warmwater lake just down the road that starts with a W.

...that has some dinner plate sized crappies in it!

Definitely bring a tube. I used to do a yearly trip there with buddies from school and there are lots of fish. You can even chill and cast to bluegills from the bank. I also saw that they stocked it with Tiger Trout! Good luck
