• Where to Fish on Page Pond

  Depth figures are not published for this one. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Species logged across Spokane County include largemouth bass, yellow perch, pumpkinseed, rainbow trout and black crappie. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. Page Pond responds to conditions more than to tactics.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect August to average close to 67°F, with January the cold end at about 28°F. Seasons here are moderate, and the fishing runs most of the year. It is not guaranteed from one year to the next. November and March are the quiet, comfortable months to be out. It sets the rhythm of the year at Page Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. A jetty or pier is mapped about half a mile from here. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Look for a notice board at the entrance. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Otter Lake sits 1.1 miles off and takes the overflow. Rules at Page Pond are worth checking on the day.
