Fish species in Upper Jordan Lake

Upper Jordan Lake is a lake in Skagit County, Washington and covers about 66.37 acres.

During a slow shoreline pass near a rocky edge beside useful cover, a point, weed edge, or small drop is more important than simply covering the whole shoreline.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Upper Jordan Lake include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Coastal Cutthroat Trout, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Rainbow Trout.

During a bright afternoon near a clean gravel patch near firm bottom, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.

During a methodical search near a rocky edge with a moving bait, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.

During the final pass near a narrow cove while the water is falling, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.

During a calm morning near a quiet corner before changing depth, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.

How to Read the Water

During the start of a weather change near a narrow cove with a slow lure, 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 a careful look at water color near a rocky edge after a cold night, 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 methodical search near the downwind side beside useful cover, 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 calm morning near a rocky edge where food is present, record the wind, water color, depth that produced twice, 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.
