Lake Penhollow is a lake in Deschutes County, Oregon.
Lake Penhollow is a lake in Deschutes County, Oregon and covers about 13.4 acres and holds roughly 244 acre-feet.
The small size of Lake Penhollow makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
Fish listed for Lake Penhollow include Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Kokanee Salmon, and Rainbow Trout.
During a calm morning near a shaded bank while the water is falling, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a slow shoreline pass near an open-water edge before changing areas, work a small minnow bait, spoon, or streamer along cool breaks and moving water for brown trout.
During an overcast morning near a quiet corner with a moving bait, 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 a bright afternoon near a clean gravel patch where two features meet, shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move.
During a careful second 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 a calm morning near the first break after a cold night, record the wind, water color, depth where fish bit, 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.
