Rat Lake

Just up the road from the town of Brewster Rat Lake is a local favorite.  The Selective Gear Rules apply here year-round with a min trout size of 14" and a daily limit of 2 Trout. The trout fishing here is excellent with some very large rainbow showing up in catches.  It is also one of the better ice fishing lakes in the Okanogan.  No internal combustion motors are allowed so it is a favorite in the catch and release season with fly anglers, who have a float tube or pontoon boat.  Large streamers or Wooly Buggers work well here for fly fishers, and trolled spinners or plugs, like Flatfish are good bets for those who row or have an electric motor.
