Horseshoe Lake is a lake in Washington, near Chelan 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.
Horseshoe Lake in Chelan County is a lake in Washington and covers about 8.3 acres.
During a bright afternoon near the outside weed line where food is present, the small size of Horseshoe Lake makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
Fish listed for Horseshoe Lake include Golden Trout.
During a slow shoreline pass near a shallow shelf near firm bottom, 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.
During a return to the best bank near a shallow shelf where food is present, start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it.
While using one pass beside the best cover near a rocky edge where food is present, shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move.
During a steady fall day near the edge of deeper water after warm rain, 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 the edge of deeper water in stained water, record the wind, water color, water depth at the strike, 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.
