Marion Lake is a lake in Chelan County, Washington and covers about 1.4 acres.
The small size of Marion Lake makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Marion Lake include Rainbow Trout.
During the final pass near a shaded bank near visible bait, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a steady fall day near the mouth of a pocket in clear water, Cutthroat Trout, and Golden 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 scattered wood after warm rain, use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket.
Season by Season
While using one pass along the first break near a shallow shelf where food is present, 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 slow shoreline pass near the mouth of a pocket beside useful cover, 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 cold winter outing near the edge of deeper water under flat light, record the wind, water color, depth near the strongest 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.
