Foley Lake is a lake in Lake County, Oregon.
Use the shape you can see at Foley Lake: check the best cover, the first drop, and one open-water line before moving.
Fish listed for Foley Lake include Black Crappie, Brown Trout, Redside Shiner, Smallmouth Bass, Rainbow Trout, and Tui Chub.
During a careful second pass near the first break before changing depth, fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops for black crappie.
During the final pass near an open-water edge with stable weather, drag a tube or Ned rig across rock and the hard edge of a point for smallmouth bass.
During a bright afternoon near a soft-to-hard bottom change while the water is rising, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a cold winter outing near the first break near visible bait, work a small minnow bait, spoon, or streamer along cool breaks and moving water for brown trout.
During the first pass near a creek-side turn after warm rain, Make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break.
During a slow shoreline pass near a creek-side turn in stained water, 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.
During a cool spring morning near the outside weed line near firm bottom, 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 last hour of daylight near an open-water edge after warm rain, record the wind, water color, depth beside useful cover, 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.
