Spencer Lake. Meet at the launch ramp. Go northeast from Shelton approximately 7 miles on Hwy 3. Turn right on Pickering Road and go 3 miles, then turn right on Spencer Lake Road for 1 mi to access on left. Trout and spiny ray fishing. Spencer is usually planted with some large fish. The lake is stocked multiple times per year with rainbow trout and even a few cutthroat trout, including “jumbo” sized fish. Google maps is indicating that the boat launch is closed, but WDFW has told us it will definitely be open by April 24th if not before.

It’s also a great bass and perch fishery, with some of western Washington’s finest fishing for largemouth bass during the summer months.

Suggested flies: Wooly buggers in green, black, or brown, gold-ribbed hare’s ear nymphs, and chironomid patterns.Lines: floating with intermediate sink-tip or intermediate sinking line.
