Fish species in Gunn 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.

Gunn Lake is a lake in Snohomish County, Washington and covers about 5.4 acres.

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

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Gunn Lake include Brook Trout, Cutthroat Trout, and Rainbow Trout.

During a check of nearby water near a firm-bottom flat in stained water, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.

During the start of a weather change near a narrow cove beside useful cover, 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.

How to Read the Water

During an overcast morning near a quiet corner before changing areas, use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket.

Season by Season

While using a slow pass beside cover near a soft-to-hard bottom change before changing areas, 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 a methodical search near an open-water edge where two features meet, 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 protected point in clear water, 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.
