June Lake is a lake in Douglas County, Oregon.
No reliable acreage is listed for June Lake, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for June Lake include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, and Largemouth Bass.
During a cool spring morning near a shaded bank after a cold night, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a bright afternoon near a firm-bottom flat where food is present, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a cool spring morning near a channel bend close to shade, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
How to Read the Water
During a careful second pass near a creek-side turn with a slow lure, 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.
Season by Season
During a cold winter outing near a quiet corner after warm rain, 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.
A Simple Tackle Plan
During a cool spring morning near the downwind side with a moving bait, a medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle.
During a methodical search near the mouth of a pocket beside useful cover, record the wind, water color, depth of the best pass, 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.
