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.
Spirit Lake in Chelan County is a lake in Washington and covers about 1.6 acres.
Spirit Lake is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
Fish listed for Spirit Lake include Cutthroat Trout and Golden Trout.
During a warm summer afternoon near the outside weed line where two features meet, 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.
During a steady fall day near the outside weed line beside useful cover, 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.
While using one pass along the first break near a quiet corner 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.
During a cold winter outing near a shaded bank in stained 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 quick scouting pass near a firm-bottom flat away from empty shoreline, record the wind, water color, depth where fish were holding, 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.
