Lake Ann is a lake in Linn County, Oregon.
Use the shape you can see at Lake Ann: check the best cover, the first drop, and one open-water line before moving.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Lake Ann include Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Cutthroat Trout, and Kokanee Salmon.
During a steady fall day near a creek-side turn with a slow lure, work a small minnow bait, spoon, or streamer along cool breaks and moving water for brown trout.
During a calm morning near the edge of deeper water with stable weather, 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.
How to Read the Water
During a slow shoreline pass near a soft-to-hard bottom change after a cold night, 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 cool spring morning near a shallow shelf with a slow lure, 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.
A Simple Tackle Plan
During a quick scouting pass near a protected point away from empty shoreline, 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 a firm-bottom flat under flat light, record the wind, water color, depth that held fish, 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.
