Fish species in Fish Lake

Fish Lake in the central part of Lake County is a lake in Oregon.

The recorded size of Fish Lake is missing; fish one short bank carefully before deciding whether a wider search makes sense.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Fish Lake include Black Crappie, Brown Trout, Redside Shiner, Smallmouth Bass, Rainbow Trout, and Tui Chub.

During a cool spring morning near the outside weed line with light wind, fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops for black crappie.

During a calm morning near a firm-bottom flat while the water is rising, drag a tube or Ned rig across rock and the hard edge of a point for smallmouth bass.

During a cold winter outing near a shallow shelf where food is present, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.

During a check of nearby water near a soft-to-hard bottom change where food is present, work a small minnow bait, spoon, or streamer along cool breaks and moving water for brown trout.

How to Read the Water

During a low-light period near a clean gravel patch with a slow lure, use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket.

Season by Season

During a short evening pass near a creek-side turn 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.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During a bright afternoon near a protected point before changing areas, 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 hour near a firm-bottom flat after warm rain, 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.
