Green Lakes is a lake in Deschutes County, Oregon.
No reliable acreage is listed for Green Lakes, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.
Fish listed for Green Lakes include Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Cutthroat Trout, and Kokanee Salmon.
During a return to the best bank near a creek-side turn with light wind, work a small minnow bait, spoon, or streamer along cool breaks and moving water for brown trout.
During a warm summer afternoon near the first break before changing depth, 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 scattered wood where food is present, 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 methodical search near a shallow shelf with a moving bait, 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 cool spring morning near the outside weed line while the water is rising, 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 an overcast morning near a narrow cove close to shade, 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.
