Greenwood Reservoir Number One Fishing Guide, Chelan County, Washington

• Overview

  The Chelan County entry here is Greenwood Reservoir Number One, in Washington. What surrounds it is rolling bush. Surface area runs to about 3 acres — small enough to read in one session. Supplies mean a trip to South Wenatchee, 5.9 miles off. For a city, Renton is 90 miles off. It sits near the edge of the county, so check which rules apply.

• Where to Fish on Greenwood Reservoir Number One

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Survey and observation records for Chelan County include cutthroat trout, rainbow trout and sockeye salmon. At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. The shape of Greenwood Reservoir Number One rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is 24°F to 62°F. Winter shuts things down for a spell, then spring reopens them fast. Count the season from break-up, usually late March. Ice clears near late March and comes back about late November in a typical year. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Greenwood Reservoir Number One.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. The nearest car park we can see is half a mile out, so expect a walk with your gear. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. If the gate is shut, Greenwood Reservoir Number Two at 0.1 miles is the nearest alternative. Ask locally about Greenwood Reservoir Number One if anything is unclear.
