What Makes Henry Hagg Lake Different

Henry Hagg Lake is a deep Scoggins Creek water-supply reservoir close to Portland with heavily stocked rainbow trout and strong bass, crappie, perch, and bluegill fishing.

Troll or cast for rainbows in open water, work soft plastics on rocky points for bass, and use small jigs around cover for crappie, perch, and bluegill.

How Henry Hagg Lake Fishes

The lake has many long points created by flooded side draws. Trout can roam away from shore while warm-water fish stay tied to rock, wood, and weeds.

Fishing becomes easier when the trip starts with one goal: separate roaming stocked rainbows from bass and panfish living on long Scoggins Creek points. On Henry Hagg Lake, that separates a real pattern from random casting.

A second pass should follow the same main idea, which is to separate roaming stocked rainbows from bass and panfish living on long Scoggins Creek points, while holding the lure near the depth of the first two bites, changing speed once, and checking one nearby piece of matching water before leaving the area so the next move is based on a repeatable fish location instead of a guess or an old report from another part of the lake.
