Fish species in Lake Louis

Lake Louis is a lake in Chelan County, Washington and covers about 3.6 acres.

The small size of Lake Louis makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.

Fish and Baits

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

During a cool spring morning near scattered wood in stained water, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.

How to Read the Water

During a bright afternoon near a clean gravel patch beside useful cover, 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 first shoreline check near a channel bend while the water is rising, 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 a soft-to-hard bottom change near firm bottom, 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 protected point while the water is rising, record the wind, water color, depth of the best pass, 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.
