Fish species in Glacier 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.

Glacier Lake in Lewis County is a lake in Washington and covers about 30.6 acres.

Glacier Lake is compact enough to fish slowly, but a change in weeds or bottom can still split it into separate patterns.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Glacier Lake include Brook Trout and Brown Trout.

During a quick scouting pass near a soft-to-hard bottom change after a cold night, work a small minnow bait, spoon, or streamer along cool breaks and moving water for brown trout.

During the first pass near the mouth of a pocket with a moving bait, 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 first pass near an open-water edge where food is present, 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 quick look at firm bottom near a quiet corner before changing areas, 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 the start of a weather change near the first break with light wind, 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 cold winter outing near a channel bend with stable weather, 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.
