Fish species in Spire Lake

Spire Lake is a lake in Skagit County, Washington and covers about 1.14 acres.

The small size of Spire Lake makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Spire Lake include Brook Trout, Cutthroat Trout, and Rainbow Trout.

During a methodical search near a shaded bank where food is present, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.

How to Read the Water

During a careful second pass near a channel bend under flat light, Make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break.

Season by Season

While using one pass beside the best cover near a creek-side turn close to shade, shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During a slow shoreline pass near an open-water edge with a slow lure, a light spinning rod, thin line, a few small spoons, inline spinners, and jigs cover the listed trout; carry one slightly heavier setup when other fish or windy water call for more control.

During a bright afternoon near a soft-to-hard bottom change beside useful cover, record the wind, water color, depth where the bait worked, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce.
