• Where to Fish on Lake Edna

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Public occurrence data for Douglas County names rainbow trout, cutthroat trout and tyee sucker. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. On Lake Edna a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 60°F for August and 46°F for January. Seasons here are moderate, and the fishing runs most of the year. In milder years the edges alone go, and the middle never sets. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. At Lake Edna the season follows that pattern closely.
