This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Open biodiversity records for Chelan County list cutthroat trout, rainbow trout and sockeye salmon. Several of these carry legal protection or closed seasons; the rulebook comes before the rod. Fish Little Caroline Lake to its features, not to its size.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Lake Caroline at 0.4 miles is the sensible second choice. Check the current arrangement for Little Caroline Lake.
