Quincy Lake Outing (Eastern Washington)
March 7 - March 9
| FreeEvent Navigation
Quincy Lake is located near Quincy in the WDFW Quincy Lakes Unit. I will be camping at Quincy Lake, and dispersed camping is available throughout the area. The Club will provide beverages as in the past, but please bring your food and water, as this is dispersed unimproved camping.
For adventurous persons, there are hike-in float tube lakes to be fished including Dusty Lake. Trout size is excellent with fish 12-20+ inches in length.
Fly recommendations:
- Chironomids
- Woolly Buggers
- Dragon and Damsel fly nymphs
Fishing from the shore is available at both Quincy and Burke Lakes. But a floating craft is preferable.
