Fish species in Davis Lake

Davis Lake in Sherman County is a lake in Oregon and covers about 8.7 acres and holds roughly 54.6 acre-feet.

On a water as small as Davis Lake, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.

Fish and Baits

During a bright afternoon near a small drop before changing depth, fish listed for Davis Lake include Rainbow Trout, and Tui Chub.

During a steady fall day near a channel bend with a slow lure, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.

How to Read the Water

During a check of nearby water near the downwind side where two features meet, start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it.

Season by Season

During a careful second pass near the outside weed line where two features meet, 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.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During an overcast morning near the mouth of a pocket with stable weather, 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 protected point with stable weather, 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.
