Guide To Fishing At Davis Lake

AKA: East Davis Lake Campground

One of the top fly fishing only lakes in the Pacific Northwest, Davis Lake is a 3,000-acre lake in the west-central part of the state, 8 miles west of Gilchrist. Big rainbow trout are the primary draw here, but bass anglers can get the thrill of catching largemouth bass on a fly rod as well.

There are boat launches at East Davis and Lava Flow areas. Canoes, kayaks and motorized boats are allowed, however boat speed is limited to 10 mph. Many areas along over eight miles of shoreline are accessible for bank fishing or fishing from a tube. Heavy snow, with no plowing, makes the lake inaccessible in winter.
