Fish species in Trestle Swamp

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.

Trestle Swamp is a lake in Snohomish County, Washington and covers about 5 acres.

The small size of Trestle Swamp makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Trestle Swamp include Brook Trout and Rainbow Trout.

During a cold winter outing near a soft-to-hard bottom change while the water is falling, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.

During a methodical search near the downwind side under flat light, 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 a quick scouting pass near a channel bend close to shade, 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 brief open-water pass near the mouth of a pocket with stable weather, spring fishing starts with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During a cool spring morning near a creek-side turn near visible bait, 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 the last hour of daylight near a windblown shore where two features meet, record the wind, water color, depth of the best pass, 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.
