Tucannon Lakes
Beaver, Big Four, Blue, Deer, Rainbow, Spring, and Watson Lakes: These small, bank-fishing-only lakes off the Tucannon River are stocked with rainbow trout yearlings for an early (March 1) opener. However, weather determines when the ponds fill and can be planted. Ice and winter floods this year have delayed planting until May. Big Four, which is for fly-fishing only, gets surplus rainbow broodstock. All have public access. Disabled accessibility, Camp Wooten area - Level 2. WCT, dirt paths.
