Fish species in Lake Susan Jane

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.

Lake Susan Jane is a lake in Chelan County, Washington and covers about 2 acres.

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

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Lake Susan Jane include Brook Trout and Cutthroat Trout.

During a warm summer afternoon near a protected point with stable weather, 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 methodical search near a soft-to-hard bottom change near firm bottom, 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 small search around the first point near the mouth of a pocket near firm bottom, early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During the start of a weather change near a windblown shore in clear water, 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 return to the best bank near a narrow cove while the water is rising, 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.
