Fish species in Pear 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.

Pear Lake in Skagit County is a lake in Washington and covers about 7.4 acres.

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

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Pear Lake include Golden Trout.

During the last hour of daylight near a quiet corner in clear water, Cutthroat Trout, and 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 check of nearby water near a creek-side turn away from empty shoreline, 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 protected point in clear water, shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During a short evening pass near a protected point with light wind, 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 short evening pass near a windblown shore where two features meet, record the wind, water color, depth where fish bit, 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.
