Washington Stocked Lakes Best Opportunities

Nice trout into the net

As you know Washington State has many lakes which are stocked with incredible numbers of catchable trout. But how do you know which lake to target? What if you want to go catching instead of fishing? And what if you want to have good odds to catch a trout of at least 1 lb or maybe even up to 10 lbs?

Sure, you could scour the WDFW trout plant page for inspiration, but like many things on PNWBestLife.com we’ve stepped up to make it much simpler for you to find which stocked lake in Washington state you should focus your time on.

We’ve arranged the stocked lakes here by Region with all of the lakes that have been stocked recently (last 3 months).And, we’ve created two ranking lists of lakes to help you narrow down your approach by lakes with the greatest numbers of catchable trout per acre of lake size (assuming lake size info was available to us), and the lakes with the highest avg size of recently stocked trout.

It should also be noted that all of the information on this page is automatically updated each day as new trout plants are published.
