Ayers Lake is a lake in Lincoln County, Oregon.
Use the shape you can see at Ayers Lake: check the best cover, the first drop, and one open-water line before moving.
Fish listed for Ayers Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Cutthroat Trout, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pikeminnow, Rainbow Trout, White Crappie, and Yellow Perch.
During a warm summer afternoon near a narrow cove with a slow lure, keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf for yellow perch.
During a cool spring morning near a quiet corner near firm bottom, fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops for black crappie.
During a bright afternoon near an open-water edge with a moving bait, use a small jig or minnow around brush, weeds, and the edge of deeper water for white crappie.
During a slow shoreline pass near a shaded bank with a moving bait, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
Other targets listed here include Largemouth Bass, Brown Bullhead, and Rainbow Trout; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig.
During a bright afternoon near a narrow cove near firm bottom, Make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break.
During a check of nearby water near a creek-side turn in clear water, spring fishing starts with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace.
During the first hour near a creek-side turn before changing areas, a light spinning rod, thin line, a few small spoons, inline spinners, and jigs cover the listed trout; carry one slightly heavier setup when other fish or windy water call for more control.
During the final pass near a firm-bottom flat after a cold night, record the wind, water color, depth where the bait worked, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce.
