Coffee Lake

Coffee Lake in Lake County is a lake in Oregon.

Use the shape you can see at Coffee Lake: check the best cover, the first drop, and one open-water line before moving.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Coffee Lake include Rainbow Trout, and Tui Chub.

During a return to the best bank near scattered wood close to shade, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.

How to Read the Water

During a low-light period near an open-water edge with a slow lure, 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.

Season by Season

During a return to the best bank near a protected point in stained water, 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 calm morning near a narrow cove after a cold night, 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 pass near a protected point while the water is falling, record the wind, water color, depth of the working lure, 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.
