Fish species in Pass 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.

Pass Lake in Snohomish County is a lake in Washington and covers about 3.1 acres.

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

Fish and Baits

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

During a bright afternoon near the downwind side near firm bottom, 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 calm morning near the edge of deeper water with a moving bait, 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 short pass along useful shoreline near a clean gravel patch in clear water, 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 return to the best bank near a protected point 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 warm summer afternoon near a firm-bottom flat in clear water, 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.
