Fish species in Indigo 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.

Indigo Lake is a lake in Snohomish County, Washington.

Use the shape you can see at Indigo Lake: check the best cover, the first drop, and one open-water line before moving.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Indigo Lake include Brook Trout, Brown Trout, and Cutthroat Trout.

During a careful second pass near the downwind side before changing depth, work a small minnow bait, spoon, or streamer along cool breaks and moving water for brown trout.

During a bright afternoon near a shallow shelf close to shade, 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 a careful second pass near a rocky edge near visible bait, 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 short pass along useful shoreline near a firm-bottom flat while the water is falling, 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 first pass near a clean gravel patch near visible bait, 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 the first pass near scattered wood close to shade, 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.
