If you fish from a boat in reservation waters, a state license will suffice. The 17-acre lake is open April 28 to Sept. 30. The lake, where water levels are back to normal, receives a planting of fry and catchable rainbows each spring. Take Highway 20 east from Tonasket to the Aeneas Valley Road, then east seven miles to the lake shore. Less than one-quarter mile away is Round Lake.
Access is available to both lakes, which lie on private property.
An added incentive is viewing loons at the lake. The 46-acre lake is best fished in the spring and fall. Warm, summer waters cause brookies to become night feeders at the lake, located at an elevation of 3,817 feet. A Forest Service campground and boat launch are at the north end. Take Highway 20 east out of Tonasket for 15 miles to the Bonaparte Lake Road, then north 13 miles to the lake.
