Buffalo Lake on the Colville Reservation is a favorite of mine. It has some very big rainbow in it, kokanee and also largemouth bass.

Rebecca Lake is not very big, but it has a very big population on hefty largemouth bass. It is just below Buffalo Lake on the Reservation.

I saw people pulling trout like crazy from the dike at Conconully Lake on Sunday. Not big, but there are lots of them.

If you haven't been to Leader Lake near Okanogan you've missed out. It has great trout fishing and perch, bluegill and largemouth bass.

Fishing was excellent at Lilly Lake on opening day, with a very good number of jumbo rainbow taken both from the shore and from boats.
