Temple Lake is a lake in Washington, near Chelan County.
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.
Temple Lake is a lake in Chelan County, Washington and covers about 4.4 acres.
The small size of Temple Lake makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
Fish listed for Temple Lake include Cutthroat Trout and Golden Trout.
During the last hour of daylight near a windblown shore close to shade, 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 careful second pass near a firm-bottom flat where two features meet, 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.
While using one pass beside the best cover near a quiet corner under flat light, 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.
During the first pass near the outside weed line 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 check of nearby water near a shallow shelf before changing areas, record the wind, water color, water depth at the strike, 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.
