Fish Lake is stocked with rainbow trout, tiger trout and Chinook salmon. Recently, 900 large rainbows averaging 14- to 16-inches long were stocked to add to the fishery. Brook trout also are available.
Water visibility is better on East end of lake, but looks pretty green near dam.
Trolling lures like a flatfish or a wedding ring/worm combo, as well casting flies can be very effective in the fall months at Fish Lake. A portion of the rainbow trout have external parasites called copepods that can be scraped off the fish prior to cooking. Fish parasites do not pose a threat to people when cooked properly. Fish Lake is currently at 56 percent capacity.
