A slightly saline water chemistry (from magnesium sulfate) can create a dead zone (no oxygen) in the lower reaches of its 158-foot depths, but the grown-in-lake rainbow trout still do fairly well in the top-water. Anglers also might still dredge up a leftover Lahontan.
Angler notes: Opening day catch was 3.2 trout per angler. Last years fingerlings are 11-12 inches with carryovers (2005 plants) to 15 inches.
Open water: 414 acres.
Season: last Saturday in April to October 31.
Angling quarry here: Rainbow and Lahontan cutthroat trout.
Stocking for 2008: 58,895 fingerling rainbows.
Special rules: Season only, otherwise statewide size and bag limits apply.
Boat launches: WDFW (south end) and private resort east side mid-way up.
Getting there: Take Highway 20 to the Okanogan River valley. At Tonasket drive north on the west valley highway, turn left on the Loomis-Oroville Road drive to Enterprise. Turn right on Wannacut Lake Road and drive to south end of lake.
