Fish species in Blue Lake

Blue Lake in Chelan County is a lake in Washington and covers about 14.4 acres.

During the first pass near a shaded bank near firm bottom, Blue Lake is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Blue Lake include Cutthroat Trout, Golden Trout, and Rainbow Trout.

During an overcast morning near a creek-side turn near firm bottom, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.

How to Read the Water

During a low-light period near a channel bend close to shade, 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 a quick look at firm bottom near a clean gravel patch while the water is falling, spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During a cool spring morning near a windblown shore 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 short evening pass near a channel bend while the water is falling, record the wind, water color, lure depth that 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.
