Indigo Lake is a lake in Douglas County, Oregon.
Without a dependable size figure for Indigo Lake, weeds, rock, water color, and nearby depth are the best starting clues.
Fish listed for Indigo Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Brook Trout, Brown Bullhead, Common Carp, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pikeminnow, and Smallmouth Bass.
During a short evening pass near scattered wood in clear water, fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops for black crappie.
During a check of nearby water near a shallow shelf with light wind, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a bright afternoon near a narrow cove with a slow lure, drag a tube or Ned rig across rock and the hard edge of a point for smallmouth bass.
During a cool spring morning near a shaded bank near visible bait, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a cold winter outing near a windblown shore with light wind, Other targets listed here include Brown Bullhead, and Common Carp; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig.
During a slow shoreline pass near the outside weed line where two features meet, Cutthroat Trout, and 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 an overcast morning near a creek-side turn beside useful cover, 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.
During an overcast morning near a shaded bank with stable weather, 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 quick scouting pass 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 final pass near a creek-side turn away from empty shoreline, record the wind, water color, lure depth that 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.
