Fish species in Glasses 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.

Glasses Lake is a lake in Chelan County, Washington and covers about 22.2 acres.

On a water as small as Glasses Lake, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Glasses Lake include Brook Trout, Brown Trout, and Rainbow Trout.

During a short evening pass near a protected point before changing areas, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.

During the last hour of daylight near an open-water edge while the water is falling, work a small minnow bait, spoon, or streamer along cool breaks and moving water for brown trout.

During an overcast morning near a rocky edge with a slow lure, 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 slow shoreline pass near the downwind side away from empty shoreline, 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 look at cover and depth near a narrow cove under flat light, 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 the last hour of daylight near a protected point before changing depth, 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 warm summer afternoon near a creek-side turn where two features meet, record the wind, water color, depth where the lure was hit, 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.
