Badger Lake is one of the most popular lowland trout lakes in the region. WDFW annually stocks both Rainbow and Cutthroat Trout fry which drive the fishery. WDFW also stocks a modest number of Kokanee each year.
When kept clean of nuisance fish species, this lake is one of the best opening day trout lakes in the state. Badger Lake is a great family fishing destination, whether you enjoy the lake from a boat or try your luck bank fishing from the WDFW access area.
Two-pole fishing is allowed
Shoreline access: Good - Bank access is limited to the WDFW owned public access. however there is ample room and great opportunity to catch trout from this public access site
