Hatten Lake near Davenport: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Out in Lincoln County, Washington, sits Hatten Lake. The country here is open valley. About 5 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. Our Lincoln County list holds plenty of bigger water. You are 20 miles from Davenport. Further out sit Grand Coulee (31 miles) and Coulee Dam (31 miles). No border sits close enough to matter.

• Where to Fish on Hatten Lake

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Survey and observation records for Lincoln County include yellow perch, largemouth bass, walleye, black crappie and brown trout. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. Read Hatten Lake before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 69°F; the cold one sits at 26°F. Whether it freezes depends on the year. In a normal year the cover is thin and short-lived. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. Expect Hatten Lake to follow that timing. Barometer swings matter more than a degree or two.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. There is no mapped parking or launch close by, which usually means walking in. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Should this one be busy, Wall Lake is 1.1 miles off. Check the current arrangement for Hatten Lake.
