Fish species in Jove 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.

Jove Lake is a lake in Chelan County, Washington and covers about 0.7 acres.

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

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Jove Lake include Brook Trout and Cutthroat Trout.

During the last hour of daylight near the downwind side with a slow lure, 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 channel bend beside useful cover, 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.

Season by Season

While using one careful route near a channel bend near firm bottom, 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.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During an overcast morning near the downwind side 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 a shaded bank while the water is falling, 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.
