Glacier Lake is a lake in Washington, near Kittitas County.
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.
Glacier Lake in Kittitas County is a lake in Washington and covers about 20.2 acres.
The small size of Glacier Lake makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
Fish listed for Glacier Lake include Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Cutthroat Trout, and Rainbow Trout.
During the first pass near the downwind side with stable weather, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a return to the best bank near a rocky edge with a moving bait, work a small minnow bait, spoon, or streamer along cool breaks and moving water for brown trout.
During the last hour of daylight near the downwind side after a cold night, Golden 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.
During a cold winter outing near the mouth of a pocket before changing depth, 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.
While using one careful route near a small drop where two features meet, early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again.
During an overcast morning near a small drop close to shade, 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 low-light period near a firm-bottom flat after a cold night, record the wind, water color, depth that held fish, 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.
