Fish species in Chiquito Lake

Official stocking history

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.

Chiquito Lake is a lake in Linn County, Oregon.

Without a dependable size figure for Chiquito Lake, weeds, rock, water color, and nearby depth are the best starting clues.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Chiquito Lake include Brook Trout, and Cutthroat Trout.

During a careful second pass near the downwind side 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.

How to Read the Water

During an overcast morning near a firm-bottom flat before changing areas, 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.

Season by Season

During a slow shoreline pass near a firm-bottom flat while the water is falling, shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During a careful second pass near the downwind side 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 a calm morning near a narrow cove beside useful cover, 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.
