Fish species in Campbell Lake

Official stocking history

Campbell Lake in the north-central part of Lake County is a lake in Oregon.

The recorded size of Campbell Lake is missing; fish one short bank carefully before deciding whether a wider search makes sense.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Campbell Lake include Brook Trout, Brown Bullhead, Brown Trout, Largemouth Bass, Tui Chub, and Yellow Perch.

During a return to the best bank near a rocky edge in stained water, keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf for yellow perch.

During a bright afternoon near the mouth of a pocket away from empty shoreline, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.

During a slow shoreline pass near a soft-to-hard bottom change while the water is rising, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.

During a cold winter outing near a creek-side turn after warm rain, work a small minnow bait, spoon, or streamer along cool breaks and moving water for brown trout.

During a steady fall day near a narrow cove while the water is rising, 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.

How to Read the Water

During the final pass near a rocky edge near firm bottom, 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.

Season by Season

During a bright afternoon near a protected point near firm bottom, Early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During the last hour of daylight near a clean gravel patch under flat light, 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 bright afternoon near a shaded bank with a slow lure, record the wind, water color, depth along the active edge, 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.
