For an angler judging whether the fishing is worth the drive, the stocking record is the fishing report. Edith Lake is a put-and-take angling fishery, stocked with catchable game fish: 11 recorded releases totalling 23,310 fish (Brook Trout), last stocked 2002-07-02.

Stocking appears to have wound down after 2002. Confirm whether it is still topped up or now fishes as a residual, wild population. The chart below shows the full release history.

Edith Lake fishes as a put-grow stillwater: work chironomids under an indicator over the shoals in spring, then leech and attractor retrieves along the drop-offs as the shallows warm. The stocking record below is the truest read on the size and cohort of fish you will find.
