Green Lake is named for the alluring colour of its water and is a popular vacation lake in the summer. The lake is long and deep, and is perfect for summer recreation. Green Lake has everything from horseshoes to hiking, and everything in between.
Trolling is the most popular type of fishing in Green Lake. Some rainbows have been reported up to ten pounds but you are more likely to catch one in the one or two pound range.
There is a stocking program in place for Green Lake, though the lake’s popularity for other recreational pursuits can mean that angling is best earlier in the morning, or later in the evening.
Head down to the south end, in the shallower bay areas, or along the west side past the culvert, where the shoreline is more rugged.
Anglers may succeed with black or silver Hotshots, or small microleeches in black or olive. Dark colours seem to work well in Green Lake. Other lures to consider are flatfish, again in darker
shades.
Consider the first weekend in June for a great event on Green Lake. The Watch Lake / Green Lake Resort, Guest Ranch, and Business Association hosts their 24th Annual Fishing Derby. June 4th and 5th, 2011, will be the dates for the derby, which takes place on both Green Lake and Watch Lake. There will be live entertainment, a concession and great prizes.
