The water

Rockslide Lake lies NE. of Passmore; in the Slocan River watershed. It covers ~3.1 ha surface area.

Stocking

For an angler judging whether the fishing is worth the drive, the stocking record is the fishing report. Rockslide Lake is a put-and-take angling fishery, stocked with catchable game fish: 13 recorded releases totalling 17,000 fish (Brook Trout), last stocked 1999-06-23.
Stocking appears to have wound down after 1999. Confirm whether it is still topped up or now fishes as a residual, wild population. The chart below shows the full release history.

The fishing

Rockslide 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.
