Fish species in Little Storm Lake

Little Storm Lake is a lake in Wallowa County, Oregon.

Without a dependable size figure for Little Storm Lake, weeds, rock, water color, and nearby depth are the best starting clues.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Little Storm Lake include Redside Shiner, and Rainbow Trout.

During the start of a weather change near a shallow shelf with stable weather, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.

How to Read the Water

During the final pass near a narrow cove close to shade, Make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break.

Season by Season

During a steady fall day near a soft-to-hard bottom change where two features meet, 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 the first pass near the outside weed line while the water is rising, 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 channel bend after warm rain, record the wind, water color, depth beside useful 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.
