Fish species in Bosworth Lake

Official stocking history

Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.

Bosworth Lake is a lake in Snohomish County, Washington and covers about 102.3 acres.

Bosworth Lake can be broken down in a few passes: shallow cover, the first break, and the deepest useful water.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Bosworth Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Coastal Cutthroat Trout, Common Carp, Largemouth Bass, Largescale Sucker, Northern Pikeminnow, Peamouth Chub, Pumpkinseed, Smallmouth Bass, and Yellow Perch.

During a short evening pass near the downwind side with a slow lure, keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf for yellow perch.

During a low-light period near a shaded bank after a cold night, fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops for black crappie.

During a cool spring morning near a narrow cove before changing areas, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.

During a slow shoreline pass near a protected point with stable weather, drag a tube or Ned rig across rock and the hard edge of a point for smallmouth bass.

During a slow shoreline pass near the outside weed line with a slow lure, Other targets listed here include Largemouth Bass, Brown Bullhead, and Common Carp; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig.

During a slow shoreline pass near a firm-bottom flat while the water is rising, Cutthroat Trout, and Rainbow Trout have also been stocked here; that proves fish were released, but it does not promise that they are still common or easy to catch.

How to Read the Water

During the last hour of daylight near an open-water edge after warm rain, start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it.

Season by Season

While using a short cover-to-depth check near a firm-bottom flat while the water is rising, 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 calm morning near a narrow cove after warm rain, 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 methodical search near a firm-bottom flat while the water is rising, record the wind, water color, depth beside useful cover, 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.
