Chopaka Lake is one of Washington's most celebrated fly fishing only lakes, known for exceptional wild rainbow trout fishing in a remote Okanogan Highlands setting. The lake produces large, hard-fighting rainbows that rise eagerly to dry flies during prolific chironomid and mayfly hatches. Access requires a rough road suitable for high-clearance vehicles.
