Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.
Blue Lake in the north-central part of Lake County is a lake in Oregon.
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 Brown Bullhead, Brown Trout, Largemouth Bass, Tui Chub, and Yellow Perch.
During a quick scouting pass near the edge of deeper water after warm rain, keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf for yellow perch.
During a quick scouting pass near the downwind side with stable weather, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a quick scouting pass near a channel bend before changing areas, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a bright afternoon near scattered wood under flat light, work a small minnow bait, spoon, or streamer along cool breaks and moving water for brown trout.
During the start of a weather change near a firm-bottom flat away from empty shoreline, Rainbow Trout have also been stocked here; that proves fish were released, but it does not promise that they are still common or easy to catch.
During a bright afternoon near a shallow shelf in stained water, use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket.
During a slow shoreline pass near a windblown shore with light wind, 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 a slow shoreline pass near a firm-bottom flat 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 a cold winter outing near an open-water edge after warm rain, record the wind, water color, water depth at the strike, 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.
