Fish species in Little Fish Lake

Little Fish Lake is a lake in Douglas County, Oregon.

No reliable acreage is listed for Little Fish Lake, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Little Fish Lake include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, and Largemouth Bass.

During a short evening pass near a clean gravel patch before changing depth, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.

During a calm morning near a rocky edge beside useful cover, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.

During a methodical search near a rocky edge 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 the start of a weather change near a soft-to-hard bottom change under flat light, 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.

Season by Season

During a cool spring morning near a shaded bank after warm rain, 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.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During the first pass near scattered wood after a cold night, 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 with a moving bait, record the wind, water color, depth near the strongest cover, 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.
