Blue Lake in Wasco County is a lake in Oregon.
During an overcast morning near a firm-bottom flat away from empty shoreline, use the shape you can see at Blue Lake: check the best cover, the first drop, and one open-water line before moving.
Fish listed for Blue Lake include Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Cutthroat Trout, Kokanee Salmon, and Rainbow Trout.
During a quick scouting pass near the mouth of a pocket where two features meet, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a bright afternoon near a small drop under flat light, work a small minnow bait, spoon, or streamer along cool breaks and moving water for brown trout.
During a short evening pass near a shallow shelf 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 cool spring morning near a protected point in stained 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 narrow cove where two features meet, 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 first hour near a narrow cove with stable weather, record the wind, water color, depth of the best pass, 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.
