Devils Lake in Deschutes County is a lake in Oregon.
No reliable acreage is listed for Devils Lake, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.
Fish listed for Devils Lake include Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Cutthroat Trout, and Kokanee Salmon.
During a cold winter outing near the mouth of a pocket near firm bottom, work a small minnow bait, spoon, or streamer along cool breaks and moving water for brown trout.
During a low-light period near the mouth of a pocket while the water is falling, 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.
During a careful second pass near a shallow shelf beside useful cover, 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 a careful second pass near a protected point under flat light, spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search.
During a steady fall day near scattered wood close to shade, 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 final pass near a shallow shelf after a cold night, 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.
