Fish species in Edgar 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.

Edgar Lake is a lake in Skagit County, Washington and covers about 2.9 acres.

Edgar Lake is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Edgar Lake include Brook Trout and Rainbow Trout.

During a methodical search near an open-water edge where two features meet, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.

During a methodical search near a clean gravel patch close to shade, Cutthroat 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 a cool spring morning near a quiet corner while the water is rising, do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself.

Season by Season

While using a simple two-depth check near a quiet corner while the water is rising, spring fishing starts with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During an overcast morning near an open-water edge near firm bottom, 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 slow shoreline pass near a small drop with stable weather, record the wind, water color, depth that produced twice, 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.
