Fish species in Larch Lakes

Larch Lakes is a lake in Chelan County, Washington and covers about 4.3 acres.

Larch Lakes is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Larch Lakes include Cutthroat Trout, Golden Trout, and Rainbow Trout.

During the start of a weather change near a rocky edge where food is present, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.

How to Read the Water

During the last hour of daylight near the outside weed line after a cold night, 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 a shallow-to-deep search near a small drop away from empty shoreline, 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 a quick scouting pass near a narrow cove with a slow lure, 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 check of nearby water near scattered wood close to shade, record the wind, water color, depth of the first good 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.
