Lonelyville Lake in Spokane County: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  In Washington, Lonelyville Lake falls inside Spokane County. The water sits 2,405 feet up. At about 31 acres, a day is enough to walk the shoreline properly. Medical Lake is the closest place, 3.7 miles off. Fairchild Air Force Base lies 6.9 miles off, Cheney another 9.3 miles. The county line runs close by, so rules can change within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Lonelyville Lake

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Open biodiversity records for Spokane County list largemouth bass, yellow perch, pumpkinseed and rainbow trout. The county list is broader than any single water. Fish Lonelyville Lake where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 67°F; the cold one sits at 27°F. Temperature moves within a narrow band, and so does the fishing. It should never be assumed safe, whatever the month says. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. Plan any trip to Lonelyville Lake around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. Public data shows nothing built here, so treat the whole approach as informal. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Hedin Lake, 0.5 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Check the current arrangement for Lonelyville Lake.
