Cleo Lake is a lake in Linn County, Oregon.
No reliable acreage is listed for Cleo Lake, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.
Fish listed for Cleo Lake include Brook Trout, Cutthroat Trout, and Rainbow Trout.
During a cold winter outing near a shallow shelf in clear water, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a check of nearby water near a rocky edge with a moving bait, do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself.
During the final pass near a narrow cove after warm rain, 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.
During a calm morning near a channel bend in stained water, 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 return to the best bank near a protected point where food is present, record the wind, water color, depth that produced twice, 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.
