I recently mentioned several popular lakes in Eastern Washington that will be planted with jumbo rainbow trout for the Black Friday Holiday, and I wanted to remind anglers that prefer to fish lakes with selective fishing rules that some of them are closing at the end of November. These lakes typically require barbless hooks, don’t allow bait, and have a one fish limit per day. This means that they ofter very good fishing for trout that are larger than found in most lakes that receive plants of catchable rainbow. Many of them have brown trout and tiger trout in addition to rainbow trout in them, too. In Spokane County; Amber Lake and Williams Lake will close at the end of November. In Grant County; Dry Falls, Dusty, Lenore, Lenice, Nunnally and Merry lakes all close on November 30th. A couple of lakes that have special seasons are Hog Canyon Lake in Spokane County and Hatch Lake in Stevens County. These lakes open to fishing the first Friday after Thanksgiving and close on March 31st in the spring. These lakes are all popular with fly anglers but are not exclusively restricted to fly fishing only.
