Lake Harriet is a reservoir in Clackamas County, Oregon.
Use the shape you can see at Lake Harriet: check the best cover, the first drop, and one open-water line before moving.
Fish listed for Lake Harriet include Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Cutthroat Trout, and Kokanee Salmon.
During a quick scouting pass near scattered wood close to shade, work a small minnow bait, spoon, or streamer along cool breaks and moving water for brown trout.
During the first hour near the downwind side beside useful cover, 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 cold winter outing near a shallow shelf 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.
During the start of a weather change near a windblown shore beside useful cover, Early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again.
During a careful second pass near a shaded bank in clear water, 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 firm-bottom flat in clear water, record the wind, water color, depth of the first good 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.
