Fish species in Snow 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.

Snow Lake in the north-central part of Lewis County is a lake in Washington and covers about 7.6 acres.

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

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Snow Lake include Brook Trout and Rainbow Trout.

During the start of a weather change near a creek-side turn with light wind, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.

During a short evening pass near scattered wood in clear water, Cutthroat 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 the first pass near a firm-bottom flat after a cold night, Make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break.

Season by Season

While using a simple check of moving water near a rocky edge near visible bait, 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 warm summer afternoon near a small drop 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 short evening pass near a rocky edge in stained water, record the wind, water color, depth along the active edge, 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.
